How long until next payday??

So, got very little gas in the van; but at least we loaded up on groceries a couple of days ago thanks to our good friend the credit card. Which is nice, because payday was yesterday. And after paying bills, guess how much money we've got left?

$3.74.

I'm kinda tempted to spend that on lottery tickets. In the movies, it would work. . .

word word word. do you do any bartering at all?

Haven't tried that yet, though it sounds like it could be a good idea. We've been selling a few things on amazon.com, and we're currently trying to sell a big-screen TV that we bought about six years ago when we still had a lot of disposable income. lol Know we're not going to get what we paid for it, but every little bit helps.

oh totally
I'm trying to hook up with some barter networks here in LA but finding them is kinda hard.
Also an intentional living environment.

Good gracious! I'm probably going to be in the same boat. My new job only pays once a month and it's quite an adjustment! Friday is payday so I am scraping the bottom of the barrel right now.

I keep saying I'm going to try the lottery... ;)

Oh geez, once a month?! Man. That would be hard to adjust to. *fingers crossed for you*

Not big, no. :-P But we'll figure stuff out. It'll be fine, I know, just going to be a tight couple of weeks.
