scrouge up your loose change and invest in some Ramen....

I go through the same thing at the end of every month
then I live like a king for one week =)

I hope you don't get hit with a bank fee between now and when that check gets cashed.

Sucks, doesn't it? And yeah, pray there are no bank fees or surprises to cause an overdraft fee, adds insult to injury.

You are old enough to pay for your rent but you don't have a credit card? Use your credit card.

I feel your pain. I just paid rent(1059), phone/internet(89), and I have to pay power tommorrow(214). That leaves me with 150$ until the 15. I have to rent a car tommorrow with the 200 in cash I have in my wallet. I also have to pay the gas... and I am running low on groceries. My two roomates that I kicked out royally fscked me over rent and bill wise. I had to eat around 900 bucks in rent and bills because I kicked them out two days before I had to pay rent(and they had rent money).

I will figure something out.

Hahaha, someones a slow learner....

Ever thought about maybe, I dunno, setting up a budget so you can actually eat at the end of the month?

Only time that gets me is car insurance time, this month alone I will have expended $2200.

Life sucks and then you die, no use complaining about it.

I have one credit card that's got way too high of a balance on it to even consider adding any more debt to it. My other low-limit card has like $11 left on it.

Bleh.. I get hit hard this check:

Rent - $1275 (not too bad for a 2-bedroom in San Jose)
Car - $300
Internet - $200 (1.1 Mbps sDSL w/static ip)

What's left over gets to pay for gas and food.. next check gets to pay toward credit cards.. (and I have a balance there that would make RossMAN proud..)
