I submitted an application to the local grocery store for part time work. I really need to get a second job. Problem is that no one is hiring in this small little town. I am hoping that they call me. Just looking over my budget for May and June and I need help! That is without paying my mother anything for my power or my house. I feel worthless sometimes because I haven't been able to pay these things. I don't quite know why either. It isn't like I didn't have a house payment(which is now being paid by the renters) and a power bill as the old house and I always managed to get them paid. I am at a loss. And it isn't like I spend money like it is going out of style. I was hoping to not have to go to work at a fast food restuarant, but it is looking that I may have to. Bummer. But hopefully it won't be for too long. Until I can get some of this debt paid off and get a little bit in savings. I just don't get it. I am making more money than I have ever made before and I am still living week to week. Can someone please explain it to me???

I think you need to list everything you spend money on. Right it all down from this moment forward. Stopping for a pack of gum counts, too! While you are writing things down, look back at the previous month to see where you have spent your money in the past. Post it here and we might be able to see where your boat is leaking!

It really will help if you write down everything you spend, both cash and check.

Also, I agree with CCF and Pat. Any time you are tempted to spend money on something that is not needed....STOP.....perhaps a note on your wallet or debit/credit card......to help with the temptation. A note on your steering wheel in your car when you are tempted to stop somewhere. I love to watch Til Debt Do Us Part.....Gail (the host) says it is really the little things most of the time that people spend money on and have no idea they are doing itor how much it adds up to. You usually can't change your fixed expenses but everything else she dubs "life" or "stuff" you can change....Good Luck....I am rooting for you!
