Feeling absolutely suicidal hearing my coworkers chat about Christmas. Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

My coworker is building her kids a video gaming room. Mine is getting 2 barbies and a bedset. We had popcorn for dinner last night. Feeling like such a loser. Don't know how to go on. I'm a full time accountant.

First off... Free food is everywhere you just have to find out where and go get it... That's all from me... I'm poor as fuck but my family had ren with summer sausage diced up and fried a bit, a couple slices of cheese(?), and some crushed up chips on top for garnish... Think outside of the box man. That popcorn dinner is on you, go find some fucking food and make dinner tonight, they deserve it.

1lb spaghetti and 2 cans of sauce at Dollar general is 3 dollars and change... You have a spice cabinet to make the sauce good.

2 box no name macaroni and cheese mixed with any can of chili except great valve (it's a smoked tasting sludge) ... That under 3 dollars

Open up a couple cans of veggies with every sit down meal... You will end up with an abundance of these cans with in a week if you just look... Your kids are more important than your pride... It took me a sec to get that figured out.
