moneys tight

well i feel that moneys been geting tight. i work at a group home and my last pay check was 800 i know its fairly good but i also want to say that the cost to live is higher i believe than it use to. my job has been paying that same starting wage since the early ninetys. i got a fix it ticket for my cracked wind shield and this is my pay check for rent. ill have like $10 left after this to go 15 days with. ive been learning how to be cheap like fixing my own car if i can and haveing a friend who went to mechanics fix my car. i dont have money for new vheicles so i got to stick to jelopes(beaters). i enjoy simple low cost things. i dont go out to eat and dont usually go to moveis. what i do is grill out with my charcoal grill,go fishing, and play cards and go on the net. i feel like im liveing in the depression except im working 40 and hopefully over time. im makeing simple. in a way i like haeing less it makes me apreciate all the small things. not that i dont want money but i think being poor at one time in youre life gives you better apreciation and makes things more enjoyable. im in high school in my senoir year so i dont want a second job right now so ill just be a handy man and fix things and do what i can does any one else fell that our economy is going twards a depression.(look at the gasoline price)

whats your problem? sell crack that can make some extra cash if thats the problem look into scams you will do good for your self if you are smart
Ever thought about getting roommate? Do you have any parents or anyone that can help you out? How about asking for a raise? And how do you manage to work 40hrs a week if you're in school? Do you only have a few classes and you get to leave early? I worked with a girl who worked in a group home at night, she use to sleep there and come to her day job right after. She was a 450lbs glutton so she worked basically to eat. You're a senior and you shouldn't have to live like that. But if you keep it up the way you've managed to, you should turn out fine. You seem responsible.
If you are not an idiot, you could easily survive on 800 per week, especially if it is net income. I suggest learning how to budget your money better. Really, you make 800 a week and have NO savings? That is crazy, plus with social security problems (way to go democrats), you NEED to have enough for retirement saved up. If you start investing earlier, you will have to invest far less than if you start later. Look up budgeting tools on the internet, or better yet, talk to a cheap financial advisor.
yeah yeah think about it he is obviously reaching how due to homosexual feelings he is experienceing at a young age. Put it all together his dad probly suspects it and is abbusive so he probly works with his uncle working on used cars or something and is skipping school to do it and his uncle is really helping mold him into a homosexual with the lure of money and favors.
i made 800 per two weeks.
chris ufc if you read the post i work for a group home and i havent seen my father for over 3 years. im strait.
Well im a social worker and im pretty sure you are a young homosexual you just may not know it yet. Sit in a dark room and really think about it ok. GOOD LUCK
If you learned how to use punctuation and basic English grammar skills you could attract a better paid job for yourself.
chris ufc people who acuse others of being gay are usually gay. we all know youre not a doctor you probably have a gay lover named steve who is 300 pounds over weight. the first step is denial the next is acceptance. so go shoot youre self already.
OK I may not be the greatist spelling and all that but I help people in real life not just on here so when I say someones gay its for a reason I can read people like a book im only here to help and im not gay but if i was you would probly like me more because being gay is so cool now its better then being straight.
Damn Mcfly is on the offensive thats ok I know plenty of doctors that surf this site and tell people about aids its very commmon so you are normal.
What am I sappose to do get embarrassed when you make a comment? You are pathetic and I could really care less what you think or say but when you get on here and leave stupid post it waste peoples time, thats the only reason I even write back to you.
chris ufc you need to get real even if you could read people like a book this small article i wrote wouldnt tell anyone what my sexual orientaion is which i stated is straight. you cannot come up with any evidence to back youre claims up. you are probably really bored so you put stupid as hell coments on the posted coments. we all know youre full of shit.
also i doubt you know any doctors except youre own who has to trat you for aids due to youre gay sex practices. why else would you be talking about aids no one else even mentioned aids. i for one believe aids is not a joke.
Man Mcfly I guess we just got owned by a young confused homosexual boy. You got money problems and you wanna cry about it I suggest you join the military they will pay you and take good care of you so even if you run out of money there will always be the chow hall and you will always have a place to sleep. But dont join if you are a homosexual because it will only get you hurt in the end.
dont come on the site if you dont want to read coments. this is a good coment posted its intresting and i believe many prople can relate to it.
i am not planing on going to the millitary. i am not gay ass hole its very obvious if i were id admit it but ive repeatedly stated im not homosexual. if you actually read everything writen my points are very obvious if you dont see my point you must be very stupid or you didnt even read them. chriscfc is one of the people who comes on this site to put stupid shit replies probably because he hates his life and is an asshole in real life. my money might be tight but at least i have real friend who respect me. chrisufc on the other hand probably has no friends considering how rude and self centerd he is and if he does have friends they probably could care less about him.
chrisufc is sooo gay he hasnt said he isnt so he must be gay.
the only person leaveing stupid coments is chrisufc.
I love your yank terminology for old cars-Beaters-that cracked me up no end!Try living at home and save all your wages-I did-I can buy new fucking vehicles now!
well i cant go home and i personally dont want to my plan is to go to tech scool and get a skill then maybe ill get a new baby car fresh out of the michigan car plant. but seriously does any body out there think moneys getting tight like there more poor few megga rich and smaller ad smaller middle class.
I think he makes $800 every two weeks--he said he only had $10 to last for 15 days.
