Time for lottery tickets?
I need to save moneeyy. I just got two overdraft fees and I didn't understand why so I called Bank of America to bitch. I get it now but still it puts my bank account at $-69.67. Although apparently I don't get feed for having it under like I thought, I only get feed if a transaction takes place when I don't have enough money. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that those checks I've been waiting for people to cash get procrastinated on a bit longer until I have more money.
I'm tired of this. I'm not used to it all. I don't want to sound spoiled but my family never had to worry about money. I still shopped at Fred Meyer's and Ross rather than Hollister and The Gap, but we owned property, had no mortgage or car payments, could get pretty much whatever food we wanted, had horses, I took dance classes, etc.
Wasn't really living the high life but I'm afraid I'm having trouble adjusting to not being in a sort of "lap of luxury" for lack of a better way to put it. A small lap, but still, a lap. Then I go to college and Luxury gave me a firm shove out of her lap and told me to go find my own damn chair. And instead of being a nice comfy sofa, it's a plastic lawn chair with a broken leg.
On the bright side it is slowly but surely teaching me to stop wasting my money. I don't consider myself an extremely frivolous buyer but still I do eat out too often, sometimes I'm too lazy to go to the cheapest gas station or to Winco instead of Fred Meyer's, etc.
Ah well. I'll get through it.
