    Default I Can't Pay My Bills

    I can't be the only one. I spent all day worrying over worksheets and the copy machine about all the bills I need to pay, loans I owe, all that jazz... I try hard to be a functioning adult, I actually am a fairly responsible person, and yet I am never able to take care of everything when I need to.

    What is the secret to having your tit together? How is it that I work nine hour days and have no money?

    Commiserate with me, people. Talk about your broke ass selves.

    People with money, gtfo. Or mail me a check, kthanx.

    Answer: You live in New York. Also I will mail you a check, with love.

    It took me years to get my trout together. Finally, at 23, I am just now starting to get the hang of DON'T BLOW YOUR GROCERY MONEY FOR THE WEEK ON ETSY. The only reason I am not broke right now is because I am paying the cheapest rent I have ever seen in the area I live in. Although that's to be expected when your place is not bigger than a cardboard box.

    I am okay at paying bills. I do it in a timely fashion, but I sometime end up spending on crap that I don't really need. I guess a good analogy is that I sometimes rock the boat, but I am never reckless enough to tip it over.

    I'm back at uni and having to rely on my parents to fork my half of the rent/bills. Not a good feeling. :\

    dirty new yorkers!

    I live with my parents so my lack of making much money is offset by having fewer bills!

    Nous sommes povres! Je t'aime, Clo. Je t'aime le povre. Je suis the povre. Nous sommes le povre.

    I spent all my money on law school and couldn't work much of the summer due to the bar. And now my deferral for my subsidized law school loans ends in a month or two, which means I'll be paying an additional ~$400-500/month just for loan payments. Should be interesting.

    I was really broke at a moment of my life and was digging from the trash cans or fighting with the stray animals for food .

    (SPOILER)But I managed to get into a few random encounters, killed some monsters, get the money that magically appears after they died and I am loaded again!!

    I am getting to the point where I'm not picking which bill doesn't get paid that month and I have a teeny tiny little bitty amount in savings. A little progress at a time.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    it's called 2 credit cards, pay bills with those then repay each card with one payment each month. Hope the credit limits aren't breached before you pay all your bills and only have to pay those off each month.
