On Being Broke
Man, I'm broke. I haven't been this broke since I was still in college and my family decided to disown me.
I started doing work for my new company a couple weeks before we moved here, fully expecting to receive a check from them as soon as I arrived. Because of various miscommunication issues, a week later, my money still hasn't come in, so things are getting pretty tight around here.
Hopefully this will help me diet for the wedding.
To make matters worse, there are problems with Brent's school loans, so they're not coming in until later this month... too bad by then I'll already have my checks so it won't really matter as much.
I forgot what it felt like to be completely broke. I mean there have been times in the past couple years where I had to transfer money from my savings to my checking because I miscalculated here or there, but this is pretty bad.
Somebody please buy me a mattress!!!!!!

I'm going broke too blah. Just watch what you spend
I can't really help, but hey, thanks for posting again. You're my favorite Xanga writer.
Broke. The new middle class standard, if ur bills are all paid for the month then I feel ur good. Living month to month isnt good of course, but then I dont read FORBES anyway.
wait till you start pawning things to buy drugs. that's the good stuff.
When is the wedding again? And why haven't I received my invitation yet? =P
You don't need a mattress anymore. Just get a banig. Ask Brent what that is if you don't know.
time to cut down to the bone.
it sucks to be broke. hope you guys get back on your feet soon!
and there's a typo in your title =X (sorry i had to say it)
ikea ftw.
yeah, i often get to the point where john and i have a tab at our favorite bar and are living on 25 cent loafs of bread from the bakery downstairs from my house. its awesome!
gosh i cant wait for a real job.
@SecksyRx3 - if only we had an ikea here... but i still wouldn't be able to afford a mattress.
@Trinity86 - Thanks!!! I totally missed that.
@PinoyPacificDrgn - September 21, and it's coming! I'm getting the prints in the mail today, actually, which is partially why I'm so broke.
Of course... Banig!
@TheCrimsonNinja - Im about to pawn things to buy food. Is that bad?
@bonnerx - Im awfully lucky that I don't have to pay rent this month (move-in special)
@oooh__dinah - Thanks girl, it's good to be back.
@aliceandrandy - I'm watching myself not spend.
@honeynutmegreturns - I can't wait for you to come back!!!!
