kinda sucks living paycheck to paycheck, but it keeps my work performance up, and I'm not the kinda guy who likes to get comfortable.
I don't have a credit card either, but I do owe about 700 bucks in all to random people that have saved my ass during tough times (scooter broke down, a month of unemployment in July). The worst part is telling myself 'ok, on 12-2 I can finally get a new set of thermal tops and some boots, and on Dec 16th I can finally get some new shoes.. It's taken me about 3 months to acquire what most people would get for Christmas, and about 90% of it is stuff I've needed. When the Scooter broke down, I had to walk to work for about a month to make the money to have it fixed. At this time, I was still paying it off at 225/month.
I'm constantly doing my budget. This paycheck, for example:
gross: est. 450 (two weeks)
225 rent
16 internet
28 power
13 water, services
70 food, dip, and the 5 bucks I owe my roommate for those Powerades.
10 for gas money, hold in my wallet.
Total is 362. Leaves me with about 88 bucks.
10 multivitamins (necessity)
10 glutamine (I'm shrinking for some reason, need this)
10 thermal top at Wally World.
10 on a new can of mace.
5 on coffee. Definite must-buy.
so for two week, I'll have about 43 dollars in case something detrimental happens to my situation. Although I found out I have $1.20 on my Direct Deposit Mastercard from my last job
TOTALLY PSYCHED. this money will probably go towards cigs, energy drinks, and possibly a pack of tank tops because they're cheap at Wal-Mart.
damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
