Due to state budget cuts, I no longer have a second job over the summer. I cried when I found out. I can't do this. I was counting on having that job this summer and getting myself out of debt. And when I was crying on the phone about it to kevin, he told me that I could work at burger king with him. But I mean fuck. Even if I get another minimum wage part time job, that's not gonna touch what I could have made at the school this Summer. $7.15 at 25 hours a week =/= $10 at 40 hours a week...
I am so so so so FUCKED.
This probably means no Myrtle Beach, SC, no trips to virginia, no camera, no working phone that's not crap, more debt. :(
I really need a miracle right now.
I've come to realize that debt is just a fact of life. Take a deep breath, distract yourself with something else for a while, and then come back to the drawing board with a piece of paper, a pencil, and a calculator. Make a budget for yourself on your current salary, and cut out anything that isn't necessary.
ReplyDeleteI budget each paycheck I get. It works really well for me and helps things not to seem so overwhelming. *hugs*
How's everything going, dear? I haven't been online in a while (had surgery and I'm still in recovery), so I've missed a lot! Shoot me an email -- elizabeth[at]lettersoflove[dot]net -- or DM me on Twitter (either @elizabethbarone or @lettersoflove) to let me know you're okay.
