Still Poor

I'm done with my bankruptcy but that doesn't mean I'm rich. Since I still make shit wages, I'm still broke. And I've still got bills.

Goodbye, Wells Fargo

I am overdrawn from Wells Fargo. They charge me $13 a month, probably because I can't maintain at least a $500 a month balance in my account. That's fine. I'm going to pay them what I owe, and close out my account. If they ask me why, I'm going to tell them I can't afford their "poverty tax."

Maybe, Just Maybe ...

I applied for a credit card today. Let's see what happens.

Surprise!

Checked my checking account balance and it seems I have $115 in it. So I grocery shopped. It's sort of nice to know I'm not completely broke, but I hope I don't speak too soon and there's some check out there about to hit the account, and I end up overdrawn.

But it still worries me. All I meant to get at the store tonight was Sominex, and I end up with $60 worth of fruits, veggies, salmon, dog and cat treats, Cadbury creme eggs, paper towels and sleeping pills. I really do need to ditch my debit card and pay cash for everything. It would help me stay within budget and not be overdrawn.

Which reminds me--I need to close out my Wells Fargo account. They charge me $13 a month for being poor. So I figure I'm about $39 in the hole, unless they charge me overdraft fees.

Is the bullshit starting again????

Spent $160 in three days time for a battery and cord for my laptop. I don't need this shot. It will eat up the earnings from my fourth part time job.

Bought More Root Killer

Bought more root killer. Maybe in a couple weeks I'll be able to flush my toilet. If $50 will help me from shelling out for a root clean out, it will be worth it.

Another Argument for Packing a Lunch

Went to Wendy's today for a BLT Chicken Cobb salad. They don't have them anymore. Another reason I should have packed my lunch today.

I Got My Refund...But...

I got my tax refund, only it was $600 less than what I thought it was going to be. I think it's because I was late paying my taxes last year, but I will probably call them just to see if that is what it is.

It's nice to get a refund, but not nice to have it WAY less than what you expected. It means I still have to put off stuff that I thought I could knock out with this money.

Oh well. Could be worse.

Spoke Too Soon

My tax refund was reduced by the feds by $600. So instead of $830 from the government, it's going to be $230. Fuck. This. Shit. I think they are punishing me for being late in paying my taxes last year. So I guess I will take my pets to the vet and put off getting classes and my teeth cleaned for another year.
