<prompt> Human: Im saddled with debt and am putting almost all of my income toward it so I can be debt-free in three years.However, my lifestyle has been seriously cramped by this. How does one stay happy while maintaining relationships with friends, family, and a girlfriend without any money?Three years feels like a prison sentence Im 30.  <response>: Happinessmoney is a weird thing. I remember when career first starting out sharing an apartment with three other people, scrimping together money for pizza night, renting blockbuster movies with change, fixing broken tail light with red saran wrap stuff. Yet in my memory those were good times, I dont recall being sad.Perhaps it is a cant go back scenario where having now lived a life where a broken tail light getting fixed is simply a function of when I feel like dealing with it and the only concern with pizza is what to get on it, so if I was put back in that situation Id become unhappy. Could also be something to do with peer group in same situation, like when youre 24 it seems a lot more okay than when in 40s.
