So today is payday…yay! And I just got back my deposit from my old apartment…double YAY!!! Unfortunately, none of this money is going to anything fun or cool. Yesterday I had $20 to my name, so it all gets thrown on bills. Boo!

I was at the bank depositing a check, and my gas light came on. For probably the past year I have been putting gas in my car in $10-$20 increments. Today, I splurged, I treated myself to a full tank of gas. Sadly, this will probably be my last full tank. $3.71 a gallon…ouch! And by the time summer hits, it’s supposed to be over $4. Insane. I will never be able to afford a full tank again until Yolanda Vega gives me a check.

I feel so sorry for people that have to commute to work. How the hell do you afford it??!! I’m fortunate enough to live a mile away from work and Wegmans, and I’m still poor. How can you afford to live if you live several miles from work? And the guy in front of me at the gas station was driving an expedition…how do you afford to fill that bad boy up? It blows my mind.

If your kids are hungry, or your house is falling apart, or your bills are going unpaid as every dime is added to the gallon…share some misery with me…
