ARGH!

My frickin bank account screwed up and gave me an update Friday without having processed some of the weeks stuff so I thought I had about $100 more than I did. I normally balance my checkbook, but I'd been totally okay. And now I'm screwed. My bank lets me overdraft, but for each overdraft there is a $30 fee. Over my birthday weekend I managed to overdraft 5 times. So first I went in the hole on the actual purchases/atm withdrawls, then each of those gets the $30 fee. I'm looking at a negative balance of about $300. So now, this Friday I was going to be in the clear, after paying bills, with about $300 left for the next couple weeks and for savings. But NOW I'm broke for another two weeks come Friday, til I get my paycheck at the end of the month, which pays rent and other bills, leaving me about $50 at the beginning of August. WHY WHY WHY do I live in such an expensive city?! The rest of the Summer you can find me doing outdoor things for free (scrounging through dumpsters for food), riding my bike (to the recycling center with bags of cans) and sitting at home (searching the internet for the coolest cities to live in that cost way less, with okay job markets).
