I have a good job where I am at now however I am still getting payed what I did when I had my crappy job... It sucks when someone gives you an opportunity to work in a upper lever job where you never had experience before and before they give you a raise they want you to prove yourself...

 

I make 334$ after taxes a week...It sucks I can't afford an apartment to save my life...Lexus never could even dream of it right now I had to take a loan out to get my Suzuki...I figure I am just investing my time at the low pay I am at now and in a year or two I could be racing a Porsche, and dippin a Donzi with the other Account Executives...

 

I feel as though I am being taken advantage of but I know they can replace me with anyone with a business degree...It sucks being the youngest person in your work place and having no experience and then you are given a huge opportunity it seems like they can just toy with you.

 

Lens man I am sorry to hear about your current situation. I figure that if your as suave as you are on the Ounce in real life some company will pick you up soon enough. That Lexus won't be to far off either at I hope the same thing for myself...

 

Future goal...

i have close to 1000 in my checking. bills are pretty much at zero, and i got a kitchen full of food and a medicine cabinet full of things to abuse, so im good for at least a week.

i havent worked in two months and im still surviving pretty good ......except after next months rent ill only have a couple hundred bucks for the month or so then i might have to get my ass back to work......

Funny, I was having a conversation about living within your means the other day. I'mseriously trying to simplify my life lately. Get rid of more frivalous bullshit, but at the same time, I keep finding new shit to exited about.

I'm not rich but I don't notice when my car payment is deducted from my account each month. I guess I'm comfortable.

 

When I lived in NYC and was not so comfortable I lived on 40's and combo meals from the greasy Chinese food spots.

Go grocery shopping and buy all the cheap knock off shit i cant tell the difference......

Make one meal every few days and then just feast on it, like a lion does with a gazelle corpse. Use cheap food: Hotdogs, bacon, pasta, potatoes. Bring a bag lunch. Drink cheap beer and stay away from bars. It ain't that bad.

In one years time, my expenisve german whip is mine, no student loans and my whole pay cheque is MINE! I'm getting the shaft working for my fams company, but at my age running a compnay this size doesn't happen, if I wanted to take my experenice else where I could make more money for the time being.I'm good right now and in 10 years I'll be fucking laughing!

Ironically I was just going over my banking before giving up and typing in the 12oz url.

 

Since Ive been in school for the last 4 months I have 600 bucks left. Good thing visa says I have another 1000 bucks in temporarily free money they'll give me.

Boo on poorness

damn 3500 on credit card bills.....yall gotta get off the card man its gonna plunge your ass right into debt

My boys father once told me to borrow money from girlfriends and then never pay them back because if they leave you you won't hafta give it to em anyways. "You tell them, 'You leave, you lose"

being on a budget is NO FUN.

 

...but it helps you manage your money better?

i just got a grand from school..and i'm already fucking up and spending it.

 

I'm gonna hafta budget and not blow it, like usual.

i swear i think the checking system is set up to screw the people into paying fines everytime you bounce a check. i couldnt balance a check book to save my life. especially calculating thoughs extra charges when you take money out of the atm.

 

i now have all my utilities taken out of my bank directly and try not to take any money out until after my bills are paid, also automated check book machines are dope. the checking system seems outdated to me. why do i have to send you a check in the mail? do that shit electronically.

this Evo 9 MR has fucked me all up.

just make more money than you spend, it's simple....

How's $100 a month to live on sound? Sounds like all of you'd kill yourselves on my budget

i just found of through 4 degrees of seperation that i violated my probation

being broke is better than being incarcerated.

bah.

 

 

I busted the budget the first dam day.

but here's my new plan:

 

I will only take money out of the bank on Friday.

That way if I blow my cash early, I know I have to live poor at the end of the week.
