What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

View all responses

I have to congratulate this site for finally coming up with a question that I have to think about before I answer it. I cannot remember all of the hard decisions I’ve had to make in my life but I would think the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make pertain to my money situation. To be more specific, times when I want more than one thing but I can only afford one thing. Therefore I have to decide which one I want more even though I want both. Another scenario would be deciding if the money I have is worth spending on outings or whether I should just stay home. As it stands now, I will normally only go out when money isn’t an issue. In my case, this would be at the beginning of the month when i first get paid or at the end of the month when the money I have will only last a few more days. However, an even bigger problem is that I recently realized that all the money I have in my account comes from the same cheque. This means that whatever money is in my account is part of my ODSP cheque and even if my primary bills are paid, the rest of the money should be saved in case I need more of something throughout the month, (more laundry money, stuff from the store,) ETC. Therefore, this money should not be spent on leisure activities as all of the money I have is for my living. This realization has forced me to come to a conclusion, one that I will use as my answer to this question…..the hardest decision I’ve had to make is the one where I decide I cannot go out as often as I used to due to lack of money.

I just came up with another answer to this question. This could have very well been an answer I used prior to figuring out the one where my money is concerned. Of course, everybody knows from having read my previous blogs that the hardest decision I’ve ever made is whether or not I want a girlfriend. This is a decision I still struggle with today despite objections from most of my family due to my past problems as a teenager.

Once again, I have to say congratulations to the people who come up with these questions. I didn’t think I would ever have this much of a hard time coming up with an answer but luckily I did. I have to say that I absolutely love this site. I could live on here. If the next question is something to the effect of: what’s the greatest possession in your life right now? I would have no trouble answering that. I know exactly what I would put. The answer would be this site of course.
