ok, so this last year i've been doing REALLY good financially. looking after stuff, saving and what not. the only time i had less then $2000 in my account is when i bought a motor for the stanky. needless to say, i've been very happy with the way i've been dealing with my money, and for being only 18, i thought i was on the right track towards being in a good position to move out of my parents home.
so it started about mid-january, i was still doing great, and had about 4 grand in the bank when my mom needed to borrow $600. i knew she wasn't doing too well, so of course, without even questioning, i let her borrow the money. well, about two weeks later, she needed to borrow money again, only this timw it was $1600. slightly hesitant, i gave it to her, she assured me i would see it again, and i wasn't really worried until directly after i bought my motor, she needed to borrow another $600. now mind you i am not pissed at my mom in any way. she works hard, makes good money, and is very honest, and i knew she just got in a tight spot, but it was starting to bring me down. my money was leaving me just as fast as i got it, and it kinda sucked lol. but thanks to starting a new job a week earlier then expected, i needed to buy about $400 worth of tools with the $600 i had in my account, then this and that happens, and here i am today sitting down, wodering how im going to pay my phone bill, i just cashed a paycheck yesterday, but already it's almost gone. my insurance is now lapsing because i can't afford to pay it all right now.....im pretty worried. i love my mom and she's great, but jesus man, just a month ago i was fine, and now my mom's kinda draggin me down with her. now im adding up my bills and i dont even know if i can sort this out even with next weeks paycheck coming too.
like i said, sorry for the vent, but i had to get it off my chest. thanks for listening guys i appreciate it.
