i have about 7600 right now. i would have reached my goal faster if i didn’t just quit my part-time job but i had to because i got promoted at my full-time job and I’m in “extensive training” AKA the bitch who works whenever.
i havent had cable in years,i dont pay for the internet (wireless),vacations are only with family so they are semi paid for or have free sleeping arrangements.
i work a full-time job and every now & then pick up a part-time job for 6mos+ or so to save up extra cash. until i can’t handle working 2 jobs & realize i don’t necc need the cash.
after reading other peoples definitions on being financially independent I’m starting to think maybe i haven’t “done this” entirely yet.
my definition was just working a full-time job, living on my own & paying for everything on my own. (not having parents paying for things like cell phone bills and insurances)
i wish i just made 300-350 dollars a month because I know couldn’t pay my rent myself without ‘halfing’ it and I don’t like living in fear of having to have a room mate or BF to help pay the rent…
The cheeseburgers are quite delicious and cheap but driving 8 hrs [it was supposed to be like,4 but we got lost..] is not worth it. i’d say plan to stop lots of other places on the way to make it more interesting and not feel like a total waste.
we were supposed to go to ‘jay & silent bobs’” comic book store in NJ or something but my brilliant friend only printed out half the directions and i was sick of getting lost.
also,before you leave,make sure your scumbag moocher friends actually bring more than a a few dollars and plan to help with gas money before you get in a car with them.
my work kept sending everyone home early & giving shitty hours, cause its been dead at the [movie] theater lately. crappy movies=crappy hours. so i went home early and filled out like 15 applications! it’s been hard to find a 2nd job because i work all weekend,and everyone says weekends are mandatory
of coarse,bring the apps around,nobody talked to me. everyone just said the typical “we’ll call you” which i know hardly anyone ever calls YOU. you need to call them or show up there & pester them. but one women stopped me after handing my application and talked to me for like a half an hour asking me quesitons and talking to me and apparently i said all the right things because she hired me on the spot!
except i was so excited and on a roll i didn’t ask how much money i’d be making or what i’m suppposed to wear to work. so i’m a bit nervous.
ive recently started paying my car insurance,i have several credit cards and bills im paying for,iv been paying for my cell for like 6 months all things my mom used to pay for.
the only thing i dont pay for right now is my student loan & i kind of owe my mom 5,000 dollars for the new car she just got me. i need to either get a 2nd job or create a money making scheme. iv sold things on amazon and eBay before and i have a lot of clothes and have boughten clothes on Ebay before so im going to start selling my clothes on there i think to make some extra cash.
p.s if anybody loves harry potter i have a poster i’m selling i got from my movie theater i don’t think you can buy it at the stores.
thats right all it took was having to go to court,get a lawyer and ending up with 20 hours of community service from merely driving over a double yellow line to pass someone..to make me a better less assholish driver.
i dont speed anymore since im now on probation because of all that crap. and my other cars motor or engine (i forget) shit the bed probably some-what from speeding too much. and i dont want to ruin my new car. i still yell at people because lets face it so many people suck at driving and dont deserve to have a liscence.
but i dont attempt to pass them illeigially@ and never will again.
but do it the healthy right way.
forget those crazy fad diets or pills. i’ve lost 10 lbs and more over the last few years from merely eating healthier,cutting calories and eating a lower fat diet and throwing some excersize in the mix including 100 situps a day and some “ddr” (dance dance revolution video & arcade dancing cardio game) i’m 19 now,when i was 14/15 i weighed almost 140 with my small figure and only being about 5”3,maybe a lil shorter then…over the past 3 or 4 years i’ve lost 20-30 lbs from DDR,situps(?) & just eating healthier. i’ve never really done anything else. now i weigh about 106.5 and i’m struggling to beleive i’m not fat anymore.
i wasnt sure whether to say it was worth doing or not worth doing. i didnt feel that different after meeting her. it was an accident. she was in a cd store in NH before her concert she had the next night in Machester. I have to tell you girls out there who strive to look like her – she looked like an ordinary girl. she wasnt ugly,she was pretty but not like on tv. you know? its all photoshop,nice clothes and makeup. she was wearing regular clothes and not much makeup if any. she was kinda nice but seemed kind of fake nice. the only thing i regret is not having a camera because of how famous she is and nobody beleives me.
oh yeah and she signed a dollar i had because i had nothing else,i think i lost it or spent it. oh well.
