So, bank account+800 then -630, in just 2 months. AND I haven't found work. In fact, I was rejected from 2 jobs after the interview process, like I told you. So what it boils down to is budgeting and "having more money than sense."

I suddenly have very little money.. so by default, I NOW have more sense. =-p
