college dating economics jobs money twentysomething

What is the price of making dreams come true? Can they be bought with money, or do they require something else? Greg wants to see his dreams come true -- to furnish his apartment with nice things, find the perfect girl to share it with, and ultimately become a bigger success than his father had been -- but life keeps finding ways to alter his plans. Can Greg adapt to life's little wrenches and overcome impoverishing events to bring his dreams to reality? Or will he succumb to the hardships of being twentysomething and accept the life he's been given?

"Shell Out" is a story I first wrote in 2006 and was inspired by a man crank-calling a local radio station about the stupid things he had sold on eBay. At some point, it will become the first story in a new collection of works called "Tales of Economic Survival," which share a common theme of people working crappy jobs to make ends meet. It's a comedy.All Rights Reserved

Perfect Fate ✔ by fanoshkaflippo

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!!

Love is an odd drug. (Realistic fiction) by Legendary_Angel1

A story of a 17-year-old boy named Pure. He is a lonely guy that hasn't felt the real touch of love. He has had girlfriends but the feeling of happiness never reached his eyes anymore. But one day, He met a tall, blonde haired, nerdy girl named Charity. Will, he confessed his feelings for her? Does he know she may feel the same way? I guess you'll have to stay tuned and find out. PS: Okay there is a bigger plot than just the confession. I'm sorry I just love writing into this story and I got bigger better plans for it. High school love and drama is always fun to write about. Also all names used in my stories are from a Random Name Generator. They aren't real names of the people these are based on. (Note: I'm not using my real name just yet. ;) Eventually you guys will find out my name but you'll just have to wait in the story. Pure Placebo Out!)

'Unforeseen' by DrewJoss

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:11-13 niv) ******** Her main list of standards before saying yes to a man are: • True believer of God/ man of God. • Has a good relationship with God. • Love God with everything he has. • Ask her hands from her parents before the courting. • And so on... At the age of twenty-eight, Lois is considered an old maid by her neighbors, friends, and some relatives. Though she enjoys her singleness, sometimes pressure puts her to think, is she willing to lower her standards just to be married? People said her standards are too high and nobody will ever reach there, especially in this time of the 21st century. Now come a suitor that promised to do everything to make her happy if just given a chance but as she looked closely he is the total opposite of the man she is looking for. Is he worthy for the chance? ••••••••••••••• Doctor Andro Leo Mercado-Martinez is; a former professional violinist of his country's orchestra symphony, a successful professor at one of the top Universities in the United States, a researcher with many publications, young and eligible but doesn't care about the word marriage. For him, one scar is enough for a man to learn his lesson in the matter of the heart. What he has is enough for him to rejoice. He has God that loves him more than anybody, family that adores him, and students that respect him. What more he needs? But one message is destined to change his life forever. Now, the question is: Is it for good? # baseonaTRUE STORY ***some attachments are credited to its rightful owner.

The Yellow Room & Other Erotica by lynnbenet

Please enjoy my first erotic short story collection. It ranges from flash fiction to the novella sized title story "The Yellow Room". There's also ten naughty poems. Some of the stories are smut. It's safe to say, this is ONLY for a mature audience. Enjoy! The Beach is a short about an overly excited newly married couple. It's followed by a flash fiction of a sex dream. Then we have our title story, a novella about a marriage in trouble. Is seeking total sexual exploration the way to fix it? What is the "Yellow Room" and how does it change their lives? Next on tap is Poem Porn, then a curious letter about a lesbian encounter going into a new world where everything is changed for all involved. Another flash fiction is next. This time it's a cutesy tale with a more tamed description. That's followed by a novelette called Chopshophop (Dirty version - used with permission) with a chance encounter after a criminal couple rip off an innocent woman whose innocence soon ends. Afterwards we get a whole week of a wildly sensual story! The final story is a shorter novelette version of our title story, but from his point of view! Look for another Yellow Room book in 2025!

Book 3✔️ Sugary Goodness by LoveLiveLust

"Now, Gary. I understand that you're twenty-four. But I need you to train in restraining your sexual desire, you're not a horny teenager. So, we will not be leaving this restaurant for another half an hour. Then you're going to go to my place where I will exhaust you until you climax over and over again."

"Say thank you, mistress." She whispered in my ear, making me groan, as I instantly got hard again. ***** When Gary worked for Adriana it was for the experience, and for the amount of money that they offer for an easy administration job.

Gary's name was on the line because he refused to fix the game. He already drained his account, but he was not coming up with enough money.

Now that she's a billionaire in the making, she doesn't have the time to date. But she likes to play, and she was bored being hassled by men for her money until she found Adriana. Her company was a time saver for Megan. She offered exclusivity to all the gorgeous men that she could choose from. Until one fateful day when Gary showed up instead of her usual companion. From him, she learned the true meaning of living. Will, she finally settled down with him? Will he ever be comfortable around her wealth? Let's dive in and find out, shall we? ******** *Warning!

30 Days Ultimatum(COMPLETED)[✔] by strawberrytrifles

This book is a RomCom book(Romance comedy). Read if you love laughing.😊 CURRENTLY EDITING AND WORKING ON RE-WRITING. PLEASE IGNORE SOME IMMATURE THINGS THAT THE CHARACTERS EXHIBIT. I'LL BE RE-WRITING THE BOOK AS SOON AS SCHOOL STRESS REDUCES A TAD BIT. Mia Montana has always had the fantasy of a perfect ever after. She believes she can find that in Dayne Matthews her current boyfriend. He is just that perfect person. It's him or no other. Jason Steele New York's most eligible billionaire bachelor. He is every ladies dream. But the problem is, he isn't looking for a long term commitment. Being a product of a failed marriage he believes love doesn't exist. Jason and Mia's grandfathers are best friends. When Mia's grandpa suffers from a mild heart attack, he realizes that there isn't much time left. But he has a wish, to see his grand daughter walk down the aisle. The problem is; he thinks Dayne isn't that man. He arranges with his best friend to match-make their grand children on the pretext of merging their companies. Jason and Mia refuse to compromise. So they strike a deal with them. "You both will live together for 30 days, if you don't fall in love with each other within those 30 days. You both can go your separate ways and marry whoever you want to marry". Found in between the devil and the blue sea, they both agree. Mia feels she is in love with someone already, so loving Jason will be totally impossible. But life isn't how it seems like always. They are yet to discover love isn't a matter of choice but a matter of the heart. Disclaimer- I know that this book has lots of plot holes, and all that. Trust me when I say I'm definitely working on it. I haven't fully gotten around editing it 'cause how busy life is at the moment. Note that, this book is my first book ever as a writer and as such has stuff that needs to be worked on. If you want to read a really thought out work, you can read my other books. I do hope you all understand.
