I hate when...

...I run out of money before pay day.

The good news is that all the Christmas shopping is done. Paid in cash.

Re: I hate when...

  • me too... I have 12 dollars until next Friday... hrmph... 

     

    DH gets paid on Thursday, but he has bills and I am sure that there will be some leftover, but the 12 dollars is "my" money.  

     

    I also got all of Christmas paid for also in cash except for my Gram's gift certificate and a couple of Shutterfly calendars.

  • This has been a sucky couple of weeks for me, too. Right after my Thanksgiving week holiday shopping spree ($$$) our oil tank got filled ($450) and then last week a rock hit my windshield right in the middle of the driver's side ($200 to replace). Bleh. The only good thing about this December is we no longer have a car that has to be registered this month.

  • I haven't even started christmas shopping.  I get paid once a month. Which means my next check will be after baby.  Thank god my entire maternity leave is covered.

  • Holy, Paid once a month? I'd starve to death.

     

    I can relate, we went to Bangor this past weekend, I blew my entire earned time check shopping and we really didn't get much, I had some big coupons for diapers at Target, so for 3 jumbo packs of diapers & 2 jumbo things of wipes I saved $33.00 AND got a $10 target gift card.  We bought birthday gifts for our god-children, a gift for my brother, and spend the rest on DD.  I spent the last of what we had today to buy dog & cat food, thankfully DH gets paid Weds, however it's the first of the month so his union dues come out of his paycheck... :( And the cable bill & electricity bills are due.

  • We get paid once a month and it definitely took some getting used to.  DH gets paid weekly though, so that definitely helps us stay more liquid.
  • Me too. It's my own fault this time, because I just had to order Matt's Christmas present while it was on sale and the sale ended last night, but I'm definitely down to the wire most pay periods and it gets really frustrating. Hence my current job search, heh.  

    Counting down till Friday when I can finish the Christmas shopping for my family!!
