poor

yes i am in that situation too right now is even worst...i have no more income so i have to rely on my husbands paycheck.

definitely! its like whenever its payday, i left with just a couple of money in my pocket because i have to pay for the house rent, electric bill and some money that i borrow from my friends. i really do hope that i'll reach the point where im debt-free :-)

Gas tank if half full. Well you have car, at least. Here people walk! I shall give you money... give me your bank details (just kidding). I hope few later on I won't have to go through financial hardship. I am swithching my job profile.

Oooh, girl, I got you beat! There was one point where I had overdrawn my bank account about $500 just to pay for food and necessities. That plus being "unemployable" due to pregnancy (that's what they told me anyway, though I'm pretty sure that's illegal). Negative accounts, nothing but rice, ramen, and ketchup in my kitchen (ketchup makes a decent tomato soup when you doctor it), just a mattress on the floor and a sorry @ss tv with no reception. We had fun though. It was stressful and seemed hopeless, but my sister and I and our friends had a blast when we were young and poor. Now we're a little older, got a little more cash, but a hell of a lot more responsibilities. I wouldn't trade my little family for the world, but it's more stressful, lol. Blessed Be

I have this problem every single month HEHE. Yeah is sucks the big one. I have been busy today with more job applications because I am so sick of being broke all the time. At the bank they ask how i want my bills $100, $50, etc and I say it doesn't matter cause it is going from one hand right to another. I won't be seeing it for very long. Grrr

I have to agree that there are some days when the piggy bank is "broken" but what can you do you just wait for the pay day...

I hate not having enough money and I've been in that situation many times. To be honest I still live from paycheck to paycheck (although I work for myself so I don't really have a paycheck anymore but you know what I mean) and I think most people, if they're honest, are in the same situation. I read an article not that long ago about how the majority of people are just one paycheck away from financial disaster. I'm sure there are people who have savings for emergencies etc but I've never been one of them. I hope things get better for you soon though - I'm sure they will.

Sounds just like my cabinets..but it's not because I have no money..I have plenty..You don't have to stay poor..you simply have to find other sources of income.
