Clearly Broke - I may have debt... but I have no secrets.

Paychecks SHRINK


Hmm. This isn't good.

I have to keep hoping the Iceland check doesn't post (or maybe that it has, long ago?). I have $175 to play with until NEXT Friday, and $100 of that is going immediately to George.

So, if you recall, I was waiting for about 11 days worth of Sony pay. I make $14/hour, and frankly I only am clocked in about 7 hours on an average day. The day after Memorial Day I think I only worked about 6 hours, and I've split 30 minutes early a few times as well.


Anyway, I wound up with $747. That I had been waiting for since I was in JAPAN. Bummer it wasn't a little more.


I also didn't realize I was down under $200 even AFTER my father had loaned me some money.

Let's take a look at the rest of what's going on.



In this shot, one can see bills for study materials, a $30 check to Grado Labs to repair my headphones, a bunch of train tickets, an ATM withdrawal for bus/soda change, a utility bill, a Pizza Port tab, and so on. And a mystery $5 charge to some "AMI Entertainment" -- I've really no idea what that is. I don't do porn (that's what blogs are for), so that can't be it. Hmm.

MORE account tracking since the last post:


An internet bill, my storage bill, more train tickets, and lunch. Boy, it sure adds up.

Well, off to pay back my $100 Japan debt. I'm sure my father and brother can wait until next Friday for me to start paying them back. *sigh* And as for the $1800 to the ex.... yeeeeesh.

Once I get a part in the mail, I'll be putting up a beloved rare game system (an NEC SuperGrafx) for sale. You can expect a bitter post about that.

Hmmm. Expected bills?


It looks like I have about $115 in bills due around the time of next week's dayday, with a $70 bill due afterwards. I'll probably try to take care of them all next Friday morning, so I haven't got to worry about them when Iceland comes around. Next Friday I'll get a (hopefully) unusually large Starbucks paycheck (thanks to Memorial Day), and a Sony check I'm estimating at $380. That means next week I won't have enough to pay back my family then, either. Hopefully I can get away with doing it in small amounts.

Upcoming costs:
- moving van
- new storage unit while in Iceland
- entrance fees for poetry/art contests I hope to enter
- camping supplies to save money on accommodation in Iceland

It's gonna be a fun one.

Philip,

Can you sell/dispose of the stuff you have in storage? at least downsize? Just a thought.

Keep those dollars rolling in, you're doing great.

Camping, in an igloo?

Yeah, of course that'd be a smart idea... I need to put some serious thought into what I can let go of!

But... I'll only be gone for about 5 weeks, and I'll need the usual items (stuff to sleep on, music equip, game setup, computer) and all that right away. I confess I have a lot of furniture that I've had since my infancy (literally) and I'm... for some reason rather sentimentally attached to it (nevermind lacking the income to buy *new* furniture if it turns out I need it).

Thanks for the encouragement!
