Ego won't stop fighting...

I'm an arrogant person with a colossal ego. I don't accept defeat easily....oh wait! I never accept defeat; I just burble something and act as if it never happened. Anyway as quite apparent from my unvarying work related blog rants, I’m not making a lot of money *points at the lack of cash inflow in the past 60 days*. Irrespective, I have lifestyle and work related expenses I’ve got to sustain on a daily basis which doesn’t go down well with my father who keeps a tap on my depleting bank balance. This has led me to depend financially on friends who frequently lend me money that I have a tendency to pay off by helping them with work and/or hard cash (if needed). Unfortunately for me, the amount of money I owe everyone now due to certain incidents (lost and then found my wallet that someone conveniently emptied, online purchases etc) is weighing down on my ego. My arrogance is in denial but I need to face the fact; I don’t have any money. I’ve been literally living off friends for the past 45 days or so and it feels horrible even though no one shows even the slightest inclination or pretence that they're doing me a huge favour. I’ve lost this battle and it does make sense to accept defeat before there is nothing left to salvage. I need a job and give up on this freelancer facade I’m hiding behind but I’m refusing to stop fighting; I don’t know why....

Rent payments

Last November, we moved into a larger house (read: 3 bedrooms) as my sister was back with us post divorce (wife beating abusing reasons). The rent till now was paid by my dad’s company but this being a larger house (we've always stayed in a 2 bedroom flat), the rent is higher and therefore the company has refused to pay the complete amount leaving us with around AED15,000 to fill in. I have an older brother and two older sisters with stable (if not well paying) jobs but knowing my dad, he'll not ask for any money from them and doubt any of them will put their foot down and give him the cash. This year has been financially a good year for me (compared to the disaster it's been before) even though my savings haven't really increased due to car and other miscellaneous expenses but I'm expecting payments (pending since last year) worth AED15,000 next month so plan to hand it over to dad or deposit it directly into his account. Let's see how this works out...
