SUCKS!
I literally have almost no money in my bank account. This time around its kind of my own fault as I could have been smarter with how I used my student loan money.
Luckily, I am incredible at stretching a dollar when I have to. So, it looks like I will be spending most of, if not all of January living off of baked potatoes and generic soda. Kind of disturbing considering I did the exact same thing last January minus the generic soda.
Just looking forward to around the end of the month when the rest of my student loan money comes in, which I will be a lot smarter in spending.

I'm in pretty much the same situation. Student Loan Company decided to send the confirmation letters to my home address in October, even though I was already at Uni, and they had my Uni address. So it was only when I got home for Christmas holidays that I saw the confirmation letter and sent it off, so it might be a while until I get it. Very annoying.

while my situation isn't as dire as KAMALARAMBO's it's still pretty bad
I've got around 2 grand to my name thanks the to economy crapping out when I graduated combined with student loans
but I do have a means of making money and living expense free with my mom, which is really really sad IMO but I know a few friends of mine are in the same situation
I do have some "fun money" to play which I almost exclusively use for gas

Being broke really sucks when a bunch of cool crap almost magically appears to be on sale.(where as when you do have money, it doesn't seem to exist)
It's surprising how resourceful you can become when you barely have money. When I'm broke I become like the imperial japanese near the end of ww2.

Yes it really sucks. i don't have a job now, so i can't afford any vegan resources. I have to eat whatever my family desides to buy, so i've been eating meat for months now and i think i'm about to snap.

Burns being broke, hurts to be heart broken and always being both must be a drag.

im unemployed man, scrounging off my mother to get to places, sucks so much, i get unemployment benefits, i believe that's called welfare rights?, over in the US?, but yeah it sucks so much I prefer the term Social Assistance over Welfare. And didn't some of the money you worked for go towards unemployment benefits? If so then it's your money coming back to you. I'm taking EI benefits right now because I'm going to school. |
