Aie. What with paying my bills, and then writing a check on my Chase checking account to deposit into my new checking account (so I can write next month’s rent check on that account—so I have to move money over from both this paycheck and my next, so I can cover it there, before my direct deposit changes over), I just realized, courtesy of Quicken, that I have about $8 in my Chase checking, to get me through until my next payday! That’s a little scary. I knew I was cutting it close, but I hadn’t realized it was THAT close (I forgot to account for two autotmatic transactions, when doing my accounting).

Dear Next Payday: You cannot get here fast enough. Seriously, dude, get the lead out!
