What's the lowest you've been in your life financially?

I had to pick up a second job at Wendy's to pay for my kid's hospital bills. One day after pulling a double shift all night and then going to my Wendy's job, some asshole ordered some crap for $6.34. I had been up for about 48 hours straight and just couldn't figure out how much change to give him.

6/10

Come on! That's at least an 8.

right now.

I was doing pretty good financially, but right after Christmas, I got into a car accident -- cost $900 to fix, and neither of us were at fault, so I couldn't file a claim against his insurance. then a few days after I got my car back from the repair shop, the exhaust breaks -- another $400. pile that on top of the $900 I owe on my credit card from Christmas shopping and the $500 I still owe on my laptop, and I need to come up with $3,000 somehow. (not to mention my insurance comes due next month).

I have the money, so I'm not in danger of living on top ramen or being evicted, but the thought of using it makes me depressed as hell. Unless I come into some unexpected money, I'm going to need to withdrawl the money from my savings account where I've been trying to save up money to go to grad school. this is going to push me at least 6 months back.

When you have buyers remorse, do what I do, return everything.

nah, no buyers remorse going on 🙂 95% of the Christmas money was spent on other people, and my laptop is nearly paid off (this month's payment will be my last). just sucks that grad school is that much further out of reach.
