Remember that Money Tree in the Backyard?

I hate money. With a burning passion.

My checking account= $31.94

I just over-drafted last week by $44.00 and so the bank kicked in $100 with a $5 charge.

My expenses:
1. Gas. I need it by tomorrow. But I can only put in $20 because I want at least $10 in my account.
2. Shorts for the cruise because somehow I don't own a single pair.
3. Spending money for the cruise (which is in a week and a half!).
4. Dinner money for prom (next week).
5. Shoes to match my dress (next week).
6. AP test money (at $86 apiece) and I'm taking two and the money was due two days ago.
7. AP Environmental project costs money to buy supplies and I REALLY need to start that before spring break because it's going to take three weeks to complete and it's due mid-May...
8. UNC says I need to take the SAT II Math test before summer break, and isn't that like $50?
9. God still says to tithe.

My income:
1. Today I got my state tax return... $7.... I'm really going to have to control myself, I mean that's so much...
2. I get paid next Wednesday and it will be no more than $100.
3. Er... wait, I have no more income.

God, why did You ever stop the fur trade? Or any trade at all, for that matter? I would be so willing to trade....

aw, girl, I feel ya! i hate that everything costs money! I'm trying my very best to save money but it's just NOT working out! They were right when they said you need to take out a loan for senior year! jeesh!

my parents are thankfullly covering cruise stuff, even though my dad isn't too pleased to hear that i haven't been saving like I should, and I probably won't be getting much, lol - but i've given up getting my hair and nails done...ohh, but jewlery and shoes! your post reminded meee!

i pray a huge cash flow comes your way...or atleast JUST what you need...God's cool like that, just enough to make it through the day, so that your faith rests in Him for every little thing. :D

sessprew is my word, lol.
