.......Checking account, all rubber until the next payday, savings account, what the hell is that???? Thank god for 304B, or I'd have nothing saved. Can anyone relate. I hate feeling like I live pay check to pay check.....
Alright, so who else is TOTALLY broke after Christmas.....
- Thread starter TD
- Start date
I started a new job last week (the week of Christmas), which means no income for two weeks. But somehow, I have more money than before. I have 2 grand more in the bank than I usually do. I think it's because I've been drinking wine from my own supply rather than going out. Oh yeah, and I have no girlfriend to buy a lavish Christmas present this year or take out all the time. That must be it. My expenses are higher these days because I moved into apt downtown. No g/f definitely has it's benefits. Like freedom, more money etc etc

I know what you mean. Even more so then money is the piece of mind one has from not dealing with a women's bullshit (no offense to the ladies of the board).AlexStomp said:

All I have left, beside a couple of G's in investments, are app. 150$ CAN but, on the other hand, my credit card is at a healthy 0 and everyone got nice gifts...
TD, on what do you spend your money??? On buying guns???

I am broke since summer and it wont stop.
That's why nobody got anything for christmas from me.
Surely, I spend my money no matter if I'm broke or not.
There are things I can't exist without. Pubs, metalshows, new cds, Anthrax merch.
I know I wouldn't be broke without my "hobbies" and addictions.

I spend money on the things that I like. If I am gonna go out to eat, and is damn well gonna be good, otherwise I'll stay in and cook. If I am going to buy clothes, I am going to a nice store and getting nice threads, so that they are comfortable and fashionable. I enjoy going out on the town, and concerts, etc, etc.
So it's all about perspective. Would I happier with none of these things, and a fat bank account. Probably not. After this Christmas I am going to practice some different budgeting ideas though. I don't worry about money, but when only have a few hundred left to the next pay day, and then you've got bills, it's no fun to think about. Paul Stanley said it best when he said the best part about having money was not having to worry about having money.

My motto is you're not going to need any money when you get to the other side - meaning of course, spend on yourself and the things that make you and your loved ones happy, but keep a little something on the side for the rainy days.

I don't want to see mien.... its a KILLERDarbysDad said:I'm not broke but I haven't seen the credit and charge card bills yet.
my wife is a teacher, so she gets paid monthly. she got her january check before they got out for xmas break and it was gone in 2 days. the good thing is that she was smart enough to pay almost all the january bills before going shopping. that means that in january we are going to be eating a lot of sandwiches.

Even though I haven't got the Death Angel CD's yet me burning up my accounts isn't going to stop me from getting them.thraxx said:
I know the feeling. My January pay went into my bank account on the 16th of December and its all gone. I've got two loan repayments, car tax, mobile phone bill, and two maxxed out credit cards. Still, you've gotta smile. I'm financially ruined, but its all my own fault. I was good to myself at Christmas and bought myself a new set of golf clubs.
