When Good Paydays Go Bad

Yah, I know it's 1am but I am just too exhausted to sleep, if that makes sense. But what I am trying to say is, I am just too stressed out to even hit the pillow yet. You know those nights when you can actually feel the bags under your eyes? Yeah, that is totally me right now. I know I need to get some shut eye because I have to get up for work at 8am. But today was a bust. Well, I guess what I should say is, today was a good day until this evening and then it turned into a stinker.

So, I got my pay check today and I had my budget all worked out. After all my bills were paid, which included a visa payment and paying back all my family members the money I owed them, I only had two plans, to go buy some makeup and then to purchase a new pair of glasses (the website that I order my glasses off of was having a good sale). After that I would still have a good amount of savings and some left over cash for the week. After accomplishing my budget and my calculations coming out correctly, it seems like I was ahead, which means I was in a good place financially and I wouldn't be completely poor for the next two weeks. I even went to Ikea and didn't buy one item! I know its Ikea but I usually find something to buy! But life thought I was having too much of a good time and then yelled 'Syke!'. I was on my way home tonight and I noticed my cell phone was acting up. Turned out that my phone company disconnected me because I went over my spending limit! I saw red!My car is not reliable and most of the time i am on my own, so I need my phone for emergency purposes. I had to dip into my week money and now I am going to be living off of my sad savings for the next two weeks. I was going to treat myself to a movie this weekend but it looks like life thought that was too wild for me this week.

To be honest, payday is the best and worst day of the week. You are so happy that you have a replenishment of money and that you may be able to buy some little things here and there. Maybe you can go out with your friends and party a little or you can finally buy that dress that you have been eyeing for a week. But it's also the worst day because if your like me and most everyone on the planet, you have bills and by the time you pay all those bills, your down to nothing in just a few short hours. You work a whole two weeks to make a $600 check, but it seems to disintegrate in a matter of hours. Ahhh...such is life I guess. Just hoping I can survive the next weeks on my 'savings'. :|
