I’m a poor college student. I’ve been working this summer to save some money because I have nothing saved up. I usually just spend my paycheck every time it comes in, but I’ve been trying to save recently (to no avail). I currently have -$81.81 in my account and the overdrafts are killing me.
Today was the day I’d seen coming for a while, but never thought it would actually happen. Everything got fucked for me. So I was sitting at about $300 July 1 after playing rent. Felt pretty good for me honestly. Rent is $400 and I have two paychecks coming before I have to pay rent again. Sitting pretty.
Fast forward a week to my bday night which I drunkenly spent around $100 at the bars. Fuck me. Down to $200. Gas and groceries for the week I spent about $70 and $10 on cigarettes (I know).
Sitting at about $120 not too happy about it. I decided I would not go to the bars or out to eat or see a movie or do anything fun until my next paycheck came. Finally my check comes and its not at all what I thought it would be. It kinda just slipped my mind but I had taken a week off of work when my family was in town to I could see them. So my check was only $30.
Had $150 two days ago. Gas groceries no cigs cost me $60. Sitting at $90 yesterday. This morning heading to work my car didn’t start. Perfect. I have to park on the street at my apt so I have to move my car everyday and that was a problem. If I didn’t move it I would have gotten parking tickets up the ass.
I decided to get it towed to the lot. Cost me about $80. I had nowhere else to leave it and the lot let me leave it there so that was cool. I called my boss telling him I was going to be late because my car wasn’t starting and I’d have to take the bus. He FUCKING FIRED ME ON THE SPOT!!! I may not be the best worker but I definitely should not have been fired. He probably thought I was making shit up, and honestly I never gave him a reason not to.
At noon today I was unemployed with $10 to my name. The icing on the cake my xbox live membership ($60) automatically takes out of my account and I forgot it renewed this month so now I’m at -$50. Add the $30 overdraft and I’m at about -$80. FUCK ME!!!!!
I dont even know what to do I wont be paid at a new job until a few weeks after I’ve been hired, and my last check at my old job should be about $200 so I’ll have about $100 with no income. I’ll need to make $300 in two weeks with no job and no car. I’ll barley be able to buy groceries the rest of the month.
TL:DR I’ve run out of money completely, lost my job, my car broke down, and I cant do anything about it. The moral of my story? SAVE YOUR FUCKING MONEY!!!!
