Well update on my money trail. I have had to bite the bullet on avoiding my credit card company. I called them to see how I can make an arrangement with them so that I can get my credit card up to date. They told me that I would have to pay $150 for the next three months. OUCH!! That hurt more then I was expecting.
So I decided to go for it. I knew it was going to be a challenge for me for the next two weeks until I get my next pay check. But I have to trust that I can do it. After these two weeks, I will be caught up on all my bills and will be able to start a saving program.
I had 80 hours on my pay this week. Also remember my truck broke down, which cost me $240 to fix. So I cleared $804. I had to go to Money Mart to cash my check because I haven't been able to leave my check in my bank, due to the fact I need the money right away. So I end up paying $30 to Money Mart. My rent is due on August 1, $450.00, $240 to my nephew for fixing my truck and $150 to my credit card company. I had $200 left over from last paycheck which I was saving for my rent money. So after some food and gas for my truck, I have as of today, $60 to last me till August 1 paycheck. I have to laugh at myself for getting myself into this position. It's my own damn fault.
I calculated how much I can spend a day and it comes to $4.00. If I don't spend that $4.00 today, tomorrow I'll have $8.00. I'm going to need my allergy pills in a few days so I'll save for that first. I still have close to half a tank of gas in my truck. Thank God I don't have to travel far to work.
So it's going to be an interesting 13 days.
