I suggest making a monthly budget instead of a weekly one. that's what I do... I mean electricty is monthly, heat, mortgage/rent, car payments, etc... |

DON'T BUY SHIT YOU DON'T NEED. or get another job, even an additional part time one. your head would explode if you had to deal with my expenses. $50/week to keep a roof over your head?? you've got nothing to sweat about. |
