(no subject)
The last week my mother has been crazy passive aggressive at me for not having money. Yes, I work more days and make more money, but it costs a lot to make more money.
Do I know why I'm always out of money, it's because of all the food and gas I have to buy. Think about it. I've been working more and going to school, both of which are great distances from my house. Usually when I get home from work, I'm too tired to cook, and Ma won't either so I have to get dinner. Also face the wrath of her because I didn't buy her any. Why don't I buy her any? Because I can't afford it. Now for the past week, I've had 2 major money eaters. Because I couldn't take a class at valencia, I had to take one at school, which was a hundred more. That cost was split into 2 payments because I couldn't pay it all at once. Two, I also had to pay a fine so that I can register. Then, I had to buy a new tire because the thread was showing. I thought I would have enough afterwards just to scrape by but it was no dice.
What I want to know is what does that woman think I am doing? I haven't been out since 2 weeks ago. The last piece of clothing I bought was 3 weeks ago. I've only been working mostly and there was school. The only thing that could be frivolous spending was eating lunch with Jason. She yelled at me for being broke all the time. Yes, she gives me money but the only time I've had to ask her was when she went to Jamaica, because I think the day before, she gave me $20.
Did some forensic accounting. In my social calendar since May, 4 major outings. Other than that, other times have been job hunting or one on one outings that I was prepared for. I ran out of money 3 times since May. Of those times, I've either waited it out or she gave me under $20. I've bought gas, as of this writing 13 times and of those thirteen times (that I know of), she's bailed me out once. I'd need her credit card statement for that. So out of two months, she's given me $35 and a tank of gas. I've spent about $100 per check on food.
So what does this all mean? What will happen when I inevitably will run out of money? What can I do to counter act that? I mean, I still got major stuff like the road trip coming up. When everything is said and done, the ticket alone is $40, then there's the hotel room and gas. I can't quit school because I'm trying to get my scholarship back. I get it back, my tuition is covered with the loan and I would have enough to move back to landing and only pay 5 months of rent.
So what do I do? Should I work less days? I mean, I clearly can't afford to work more next week. I think I'll scale back my work days to 3, then I'm on the road less.
