Sometimes we want to buy our basic needs from foods to our personel care and you discover that you don"t have money left. You know that your next allowance will be one week more. No one like to be your pal to lend on... oh my!! What to do?

If I know money will be short, and it has been in this economy, I will go work my butt off to support my daughter. I have asked a family member to loan me some money until the next time I get paid, and they have loaned it to me. I have been paying them back, with no interest. As long as you have the basics covered, then nothing else should matter. You have a roof over your head. You have food to keep you alive. The extras are exactly what they are. I go without a lot just so if my daughter has an emergency, that can be taken care of.

Thanks to your suggestion i really appriciate it. That makes my mind light up for a while and push myself to add more earning by having a work home job. Not only here but to have something to do that added to my income right now. :)

Well, If I were a student (like you are, I guess) I'd have to contact my parents or that someone who's giving me allowance to send money this week instead of next week. Since you said that you don't have anyone to borrow to. Otherwise, I would try to just save up for food. Personal care can come next week, but food can't. I will try to talk to the cafeteria or canteen that I eat to, to give me credit because I am always there to eat anyhow, and it's just one week. Plus, I could give them my info in case they're not sure I would pay.
That's the best things I could do for now, but I would try to pay all those people off. Plus try to be more conscious of how I spend my money because I don't want to ever experience that again.

i've experienced that situation a lot of times and trust me, the best thing to do is to borrow money from a friend. just tell her you'll be paying it when your allowance comes and by the way, learn from you experience. try saving up and budget your money really well. don't buy things that you don't really need.=D

I'll go and make some more money. May be if things are very tight then I will ask my best friends, the ones I trust the most.

Maybe your right. Only best friend can understand what we feel and they are the one we can trust on that very moment and situation. With no regret we have to ask them whatever happend. Only God can know If they help us or not. :)

Hi Mods196621, if i were you, i will wait for another week as i don't like to borrow money from people. The reason is because i feel shame to borrow money from people. I feel that i am a beggar and keep asking money from people. Some more, it just another week to wait, thus i believe you also can wait till that time. Who knows may be the week you buy have additional discount.
