Just checked our online statement -- we have $1.46 left in our account and DH doesn't get paid again til Friday! And that's if DH gets a chance to pick it up on Friday, being that he'll be working open to close in his new store the rest of the week. Guess we're putting a tank of gas on the credit card.

The worst part? I had this eerie feeling when I went to check it that it would be low b'c we just blew money the past 3 days when DH was off (happens EVERY TIME!) but I wasn't prepared for the figure I saw. We really need to go on a spending freeze. This is just plain silly. Those burgers we got yesterday were not good enough to warrant the pit in my stomach right now. And DH will get home and say "where did all our money go?" to which I'll reply "Burger King, Giant Eagle, Arby's, McDonald's, Wendy's, and that nice fat juicy steak we had Friday afternoon." *sigh*

Good luck this week!

Don't feel too bad, sounds like you ate good anyway!

The main thing is you know where your money went and why!

Over spending is like a diet, if you blow it one day, just try to do better the next!

Aww hun
Im sorry things turned out this way. Things do get out of hand pretty fast, don't they? Good luck!

It sounds like you have no choice but to go on a spending freeze. That sucks. I know I hate the weeks we have to dip into the credit card.

C'mon over to the Forget the Joneses forum! Right now we're talking about spending tempations and it sounds like fast food is one of yours. Consider it a learning experience. I'm sure next paycheck things will go much more smoothly.
