[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get paid tomorrow. I have $13 in my bank account. I do have $240 hidden in my underwear drawer.  But that is IT. That is all the money I have access to. "You need a budget" I take home $2600/month and my set bills are ~$1800 so I am doing okay not drowning in housing costs.  But that leaves $800/month. About $200/week for EVERYTHING. Groceries mainly. And gas. And summer camp/childcare.  I spend all year starting in January looking for scholarships and free camps for my kid but I still end up having to spend several hundred dollars to fill in the gaps. And we all know something always comes up, property taxes, car registration, drivers license renewal,  professional license renewal, CEUs, dentist bill, whatever.

I can completely understand why somebody making $300,000 a year does not feel rich in this area. But please recognize that you probably could access more than $253 at the end of the month if you needed to.  [/quote]

Guessing your salary is in the 40s

Curious if you are on any assistance

What do you think about people getting assistance instead of working like you are
