Well, today was payday and just like that all my money is gone.
I didn't even get to cash stuff any envelopes.
Got up, checked my bank and saw my check. My car payment pulls out as soon as my check hits the bank so I can't accidentally spend it, which is nice.
By the time I paid for my phones to be turned back on since they shut off last night, paid my oldest, paid my middle daughter the $20 I owed her and set money aside for rent, filled my gas tank, my check was gone.
But I have no disconnect notices, nothing else is going to be shut off, and everything is back on and working.
Next payday I will have some breathing room.
Thankfully I will be donating plasma tomorrow and 3 more times before payday which should earn me $180 that I can use towards groceries.
I just have to make it to next payday.

I am using up my savings and crossing my fingers LOL. As long as I am healthy and able to work everything is fine.

I have never had a car payment. I’ve just always had a fairly nice used car. I’m sure you enjoy your car though. Maybe it is used, but you still make payments to a dealership? I bought mine from an individual.
It’s good that you have the option to donate plasma.

Living from paycheck to paycheck is exhausting. I don't even look forward to paydays anymore.
