Werd! Should I kill everyone around me? I don't know many people that actually save for the future like me. Even if they made an extra $500 a month they would just get a nicer car or something. I can't live like that. I would be freaking out if I had $10 till payday. The majority of people I know live pc to pc.

 

same with me. If I didn't have enough money to last me min. of 6months after I got laid off I'd be :a: :nervous: but that doesn't mean those that live pay check to pay check doesn't deserve to live.

Sometimes people can't help it, they have kids, mortgage, etc. Other times people are living beyond their means. It happens. It happened to me when I was younger.

 

I hear ya Rick and Wilsel, I'm getting to a point in my life where I'm through living pc to pc and am planning on paying my car off fast as well as put some money away into savings.

 

sorry derek. you're life is not worth living :sad:


j/k



BTW what the f is savings?

 

:sad:


:deek: savings will be my nest egg :gorgeous:
haha, just gonna put some money away for a rainy day, I'm thinking I might need to take a week vacation for spring break next year, but not the typical cancun stuff. Maybe hit up the east coast

 

Living paycheck to paycheck sucks. I made some huge mistakes financially when I first started establishing credit... and effed up big time.... I fortuantly fixed those mistakes.. and reestablished good credit. But I should never have bought the car I have now. I had a perfectly good 95 Civic that was less then a year away of being paid off, and was HALF the payment I have now. I had very little in savings.. and when I got laid off... that went down the tubes quickly. From July 02 to July 03 I was unemployed for 9 months out of that three month period... and now.. because of all the shit that accumulated in that time period.. my credit is shit.. and I'm forced to live paycheck to paycheck. AND IT BLOWS.

 

I live paycheck to paycheck at home Not as bad but still sucks I can't afford as much shit as my friends who graduated college and are 23 with new houses

 

alright, im not going to argue it.

Imo, if you are living pc to pc and trying to do stupid shit like paying off a car, trying to maintain a certian standard of living YOU ARE STUPID.

Living beyond your means is the STUPIDEST thing you can do to yourself.

If you want to give me a specific set of circumstances for living alone on min wage I'll give you my opinion, but if the goal here is to get me to say an absolute for living on min wage- forget it.

 

well no one is saying it isn't. but you said


that's a big difference.

 

Making $600/mo, barely getting by even though I live at home.

monthly payments = teh lose! :wtc:
