I'm bad with money

I have bills. Phone bills. Internet bills. But I don't have an income. And I'm shitty with my money.
When I get money, yes, I'm good about paying my bills. But in my perfect world, I'd spend all my money on my friends.
I don't give a shit about money. It ruins people. I hate when people say they can't go out and do something because it costs too much. Especially when it's a person I know has a good job. I have no job, and I'll do everything in my power to make sure I can go out and have a good time with my friends. And if it costs me my last dollar, so be it.
Telus is expecting $90 dollars from me tomorrow. Guess what. Last time I checked, I had 52 cents in my bank account. Sorry, Telus, looks like you're going to have to shut off my phone.
I always have this perfect scenario play out in my head, one that I am determined to make happen, but one that leaves me with no money for an extended amount of time. See, I'm taking a trip in the middle of November. I justify not going out to look for a job before then because it wouldn't make sense, nor would it be appealing to an employer, for me to say, "Hey, hire me! Oh, and by the way, I'm going to need two weeks off right away." So my plan is to wait until I get back, make an effort to find a job, once I have that job to begin my TESOL course, work to pay off my approximately $6000 debt (which is peanuts compared to a lot of people I know), and by the time I'm done my course, I've paid my debt, maybe saved up some coin, and I can fuck off to another part of the world. God didn't put me on this earth to work a boring job just so I can save up to buy a house to work to afford my car to drive to work to pay for my house and car.
Listen: I do not want a house.
Listen: I do not want a wife.
Listen: I do not want children.
What I want is to go out and teach, make a person's life better, grow as a person, learn, experience different cultures, eat weird foods, expand my horizons, make new friends, look at a different set of stars. I was put on this earth to make a difference, and I've done a piss poor job of doing it here, so I might as well try my luck across the world.
