This is the first holiday season where I feel so anxious and confused. Usually, with schooling and the types of jobs I'd had, I looked forward to the days and weeks of seasonal liberation. Now, I approach Christmas with a unique sense of dread.
Normally, I am financially comfortable enough to buy gifts for all of my family members and close friends. Now, I feel like I must be a failure if I can't do the same this year despite being between jobs for half of the year. I dig into savings and debt to populate our tree and add it toward the list of things that must pass. I hope I can pay it all off in time.
