I just checked my account onine... and i realized i have just under $80 bucks. I owe 20 to my roommate and 40 for my cell phone. All I wanna know is WHERE THE HELL does my money go?! I made 10g's last year gross, and besides insurance I can't think of ANYTHING that would have me run through my money so fast. This such a pain in the ass and I'm pretty fed up with this.

I just got a job, but I won't get my check till next Thursday. How am I gonna last on $20 bucks for 1 week?

It would be a great help if anyone could recommend me a program that will help me keep track of what I'm wasting my money on. (btw im in college so it's probably spent mostly on beer and weed) Are there any personal versions of quicken etc for the average person?

If Quicken is too much too handle just make up your own spreadsheet in Excel.

Ramen

10 cents a piece!

That is 50 for $5.00.

50 lasts you a while.

Yup, Quicken is geared towards personal finances. There are versions that are more robust and do more things for businesses.

beer takes your money away fast. I'd suggest switching to $5 a liter vodka for a while. (that is of course unless you drink Natty Ice or the like)

;)

That's cheap, but sure isn't as enjoyable as beer and weed.

 

10 grand isn't much, you piddled it away on food and drink and other living stuff.

Don't have money for either. I haven't drank any alcohol in 4 months, and I am in college :p.

no wonder you're broke, beer and weed are fairly expensive(relative to what you make). are they not?

it's kind of a dumb question you're asking.
here's a solution, cut down or stop smoking weed, and make other people start buyin' the beer.

oh and get receipts for everything so you can keep track of where it's all being spent.
