Due to my now essentially jobless state, I’ve been doing exactly what I said I wouldn’t do at the beginning – using my credit card out of convenience.
I get paid tomorrow. A massive amount. Still have a speeding ticket to pay, in addition to owing the fire company for my first responder class that I was booted from. I’m also going to be giving financial aid tomorrow, to figure out how to get my bill paid off at the school so I can be re-enrolled. Once I get that all taken care of and start classes again, I might include that debt on here. It is just sitting there accruing loads of interest, after all. That is, if and when I even figure out who I owe student loans to (other than Sallie Mae), and how to check said balances.
Due to the job situation, I only made minimum payments this month.

Going a bit in the wrong direction, eh?

I would’ve liked to get this fired up again with an awesome “I just got paid” post, and how the money is to be spread, BUT… of course… Capital One refuses to accommodate night owls. Alas, I don’t know my current balance. I do know, however, that I somehow managed to jack it up in ugly fashion. Of course, if I were keeping track of all of my expenses like I should be, I wouldn’t have that problem.
I piss me off.
It also generally sucks that, apparently, I only worked 59.28 hours this pay period, and as such, only got paid a whopping $406.91.
I may take Matthew’s suggestion and target PayPal/GE Money Bank before anything else. I haven’t decided yet. Then again, I haven’t decided on much of anything. I still need to get my scooter fixed, which I have no idea how much will cost, and then ideally I’d like to sell the thing or trade it in for a motorcycle. But, of course, I don’t want to take on any more debt until I have a new job. My next paycheck from working out at the park is forecast to be about $1100, which is generally freaking awesome (bonus days!), but also means that with the exception of weekends I’ll essentially be out of work.

This I have known for years.
What’s that have to do with anything? I haven’t been keeping track of my expenses since my last post. For the sake of simplicity (and laziness), I’ll be resetting all stats n such when I do my post at the end of the day.
Go me.

…but no less debt. Of course, that’s because I didn’t put any on yet. I might wait until my next paycheck to do so. I would still like to get my scooter fixed sometime soon, and that might enable me to do so.
Paydays rock, though.
My largest purchase in the past couple of days was… a pair of Crocs. I finally gave in and got myself a pair. Damn peer pressure. And for only $30, it’s not too bad. Unfortunately, though, I didn’t have time the past 2 days to pack a lunch for work, and so ended up spending between five and six dollars each day – which is more than 10% of what I make in a day. I also went home early Friday… wasn’t feeling the greatest.
The good news – bonus days are coming up! The bad news – bonus days just means I’m closer to being out of work… unless I do end up working in Chocolate World until I find something else.

Can’t keep my eyes open for a coherent update… I’ll do it in the morning.
