Money Frustrations

Well I'm sure I'm not the only one who worries about money. But it just seems that lately, within the last 4 months, that's the only thing that seems to be on my mind. The main reason for this is because my inability to do certain things. Just like most people, student loans paid my way through college. To the point where I'm in debt close to 100,000. Alot huh? Because of this, and the other bills i have, I can't do the things I would love to do. I would love to surprise my old roommate from college. Go to a concert to see a band that I love. Even go out on the town during the night. However, I can't because of money issues. I know I shouldn't let it run my life but it is. I hate it. The only solution is to get a better paying job but in this economy I'm lucky I even have one. I just don't know what to do. I'm so frustrated and feel left out but at this time there's nothing i can do. But for now I must suck it up and do what I can. Hopefully one day money won't be the one running my life. I can hope right?
