I was starving, nothing in the fridge. Fortunately, the local grocery store had a Lunchables for an even $.98

Did you use a coupon? 😉

bought a car?


No. Finishing a basement. Paint, carpet, electrical, plumbing, etc. Bought a pool table yesterday.

No doubt ... My Home Depot charge card has a $4,900 balance on it - and I have to pay it off monthly. Then again, it's a commercial account. 😉

I am so fvcked for this weekend. I got $4.30 to live off of until monday. MY main problem is hat my friends skimboard broke while I was using it (had a huge crack) and I bought him a new one. $-75 out of the bank account. Then I got charged an extra month on Star Wars Galexies (fvckers, I dont even have it installed, I thought it cancled it self after the one free month). Then there has been gas, and some food. Another big hit was $30 for a dinner. Fvck me. I am so poor. I have less then $5.00 in my bank account. Sh!t.

Eat at a soup kitchen for those in need. I think you qualify at the moment.

Two words: Ramen Noodles 🙂

Hell yeah! He could probably buy about 40 of those things with 4 bucks and some change.

BEEF RULES YOU ALL!
 
Thats NOTHING.......I only have $4800 in my account till Monday.
Even so, that paycheck will only last so long till my end of the month bonus check.
Then I will have to wait till next Monday for another paycheck.
And of course I have too pinch and save till the very next Monday.
And if I somehow survive that particular week, I will have to endure another week till the end of the next month for my bonus check.

As you can see, I have to live through this vicious cycle.
My oh my......somebody help me.

Nope this was my pre-Ferengi days but it was ON SALE.
 
I blow $150 on an average Friday/Saturday night when I go out to the bars/clubs. Of course, I only 'go out' about once a month.

Wow $30 for a harness? I hope it came with speed loaders....

I got a 4+1 on ebay for $20 with the loaders filled with Marbalizers....
 
I used to spend freely, now I save up around 20% of my income after 401K and I still have enough left over for golf, movies, etc. 😀

I learned the hard way when I was in college to be more financially wise.

stock class harness. only 1 store has em (iisports), 30 bucks in store, or 20 on ebay + 7 shipping

i'm impatient and it's not worth the 5 dollar savings.

 
There was a two month period when I was SO broke I was actually playing poker for food-money (I would win 50-60 bucks every 3-4 days). I spent a little too much one month, then was perpetually in debt for the next two months.
