Annoyance...

[InbetweenDreams]

I think I may have another thread somewhere. The guy I'm seeing has some sort of addiction to buying what are really junk cars. To give better context about him he's a nice guy and has a lot of good traits but this and his procrastination on certain things kind of make me really question things. The cars he likes and keeps buying are these old "granny cars" from the late 80's and early 90's stuff like Oldsmobile Delta 88's, Buick LeSabre, and the ones after the downsize, so they're not collectible and what he's buying aren't good examples or worth putting much (if any) money into. As a matter of fact since I last talked about it on the forums he's bought 2 more cars. Now to be clear, it is his money, his hobby, he can do whatever he wants, just as I will spend my money on useless crap as well, so I really don't have much room to talk. I've spent quite a bit of money on aquariums and fish and all that jazz this year.

The other thing is he hates his job but won't put any time into updating his resume, which is something that could be knocked out in a couple hours, if that, and I've mentioned it and asked him since July. He knows that's the only way out and with all the job openings I have tried to emphasize that this is the best time to make a move. He's making $10 an hour an animal hospital ran by people who could give a shit about their staff when everyone else is offering better pay and benefits. He missed an opportunity to work at a car dealership, no experience required, starting pay was $14/hr.

I'm not trying to control him or tell him what he can or cannot do and I have not scolded him for buying these cars, mind you they're not tagged or registered so he can't really drive them until then. Not trying to make him do anything he doesn't want to do but he always complains about his job and how terrible the owners are and so on. I do want him to be happy and make good choices, and I realize that has to come from him and I don't want to be an asshole. But, I also need to keep myself in mind, I feel like maybe I need to dial it back some with him.
