[quote=Anonymous]Haha, I'm shocked at everyone's incomes here's mine:

Income: 2000/month
Rent: 920/month
Food: Variable, as little as possible. I don't eat out all, cook from scratch. 
Vacations: n/a
Car and Rental Insurance: 90
Car: 280
Other expenses ie gas, phone, internet: About 200
Electric: About 50
Student loans: In deferment until I finish graduate school

Granted, I'm in graduate school full time (6 credits/semester). I work full time on top of that but I don't make much. To sum it up, I don't make much and end up spending what I make on bills. I'm kind of jealous of everyone making 9000 or more a month. Some people's "random" spending is almost equal to my monthly income  :shock:

I keep telling myself things will get better, I'll graduate, get a good job, and not have to scrape by each month. I'll be able to pay down my credit card that I wracked up trying to keep my head afloat and get health/dental insurance so I don't have to take out a line of credit for essential procedures. Granted I will be working in the education field, so I won't get anywhere close to 100k a year but even 40-50k is better than now.

Not to hijack the thread--but does anyone have any encouraging stories if at one point they were in my position and things got better? Just asking, lol [/quote]
