    Saturday, November 1, 2008 Figuring A Budget (25 clicks)
From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
November 1, 2008 at 11:59 pm ET Now that I’ve been working at this job for over a month, I have enough of an idea as to how the paychecks will fall to come up with a real budget. Why? Because right now I haven’t the slightest idea what the heck to do with all the money I have left over after [...] ... (more) Thursday, October 23, 2008 Clarification (6 clicks)

October 23, 2008 at 11:04 pm ET To my regular readers - the photos recently posted were from an obviously grisly accident. The drunk driver of the pickup truck slammed head on with the minivan as we was traveling south in the northbound lanes. A 16 year old girl was killed, and the father and a younger sister were flown out via [...] ... (more) Sunday, October 19, 2008 Union Twp I81 MM89 MVA w/ Injuries Head On (5 clicks)
Thursday, October 16, 2008 Sent to Collections (30 clicks)
From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
October 16, 2008 at 9:21 pm ET I just got a letter yesterday informing me that my Capital One account has been sent to collections. I’ve heard many good things about GC Services (hah!). Balance? $7700. Credit score? 578. Life is grand.
I think I’ll pay my propane bill next week. Maybe even the electricity. ... (more) Saturday, October 11, 2008 A Wasted Vote (25 clicks)
From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
October 11, 2008 at 1:01 am ET When asked why they will not vote for a third party candidate, many people will respond by saying something like, “He cannot win.” Or, “I don’t want to waste my vote.” It is true: America has not elected a third party candidate since 1860. Does that automatically mean, however, that every vote cast for one [...] ... (more) Monday, October 6, 2008 Deal with the Landlord (9 clicks)
From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
October 6, 2008 at 9:06 pm ET The landlord was just over, and we were able to come up with an agreement that is apparently reasonable to both of us. I just paid him $350 tonight, he expects $250 on Friday, and $200 every week thereafter. Bear in mind, this is an agreement that involves me continuing to reside here. I made [...] ...

October 5, 2008 at 2:35 pm ET This has been a very hectic week… I haven’t really been able to work anything out with my landlord other than him letting me stay until someone else wants to move in. These 10 hour days have been killing me. I don’t have anywhere near enough time to do all of the other things that [...] ... (more) Sunday, September 21, 2008 Work’s Good (2 clicks)
From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
September 21, 2008 at 2:34 pm ET This new job is working out well. The whole place is very laid back, and thankfully I don’t have a lot of heavy lifting to do. Only problem is hardly being able to walk by the end of the shift.
My mom stopped by Wednesday and took me to the grocery store, so I can at [...] ... (more) Sunday, September 14, 2008 From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
September 14, 2008 at 11:44 am ET This is all I could get, as shortly after this shot I was dispatched for traffic control at this location. ... (more) Saturday, September 13, 2008 Another Job (12 clicks)
From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
September 13, 2008 at 8:09 pm ET So I got in to TempForce. I was fully planning on going back to Ingram Micro through them, $10/hr, even though I really didn’t want to (but it’s a job). Well, while I was filling out my app down there, it only dawned on me then that I haven’t been out of there for 6 [...] ...

Saturday, August 30, 2008 The Countdown Begins (2 clicks)
From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
August 30, 2008 at 11:18 am ET As expected, last night my landlord gave me 30 days to either move out or pay up. I don’t imagine coming up with $1000 by then, nor do I see myself having anywhere else to go. Humm… I’ve been looking at a few potential jobs, but my sleep schedule is so backwards right now that [...] ... (more) Thursday, August 21, 2008 Landlord: $400 in 10 days (5 clicks)
From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
August 21, 2008 at 9:29 pm ET My landlord swung by yesterday to check on the progress of remodeling downstairs, and I used the opportunity to finally talk to him about what’s going on. He offered me construction work, but it sounded like the type of thing that would kill me. So, I told him I’d get in touch with the temp [...] ... (more) Friday, August 15, 2008 Uncle? (28 clicks)

August 15, 2008 at 4:19 pm ET Last night, I got 3 text messages happily informing me that all 3 of my sisters are pregnant - two of them with due dates a day apart. Actually, the first one from my mom didn’t really inform me of anything…
Right now i have 3

Of course, it makes sense now, [...] ... (more) Friday, August 1, 2008 Crappy Payday A Rent-Saver (3 clicks)
From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
August 1, 2008 at 12:50 am ET I got a check in the mail today for my whole 1.5 shifts of work. The booty? $75 (out of $159 in earnings). This is pretty significant, though, as it means I’ll now be able to pay my rent, and have about $28 left to my name. Obviously, this means I now have to go [...] ...

From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
July 30, 2008 at 1:02 am ET The fam and I went skydiving on Sunday. I know what everyone says, “why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?” Let me tell you what, the planes they use there make you want to jump out of them. It all went pretty well, and the training was thankfully short. However, [...] ... (more) Thursday, July 24, 2008 Status Bars (6 clicks)

July 24, 2008 at 8:25 pm ET Yay, I finally gave in (and got off my ass) and added status bars. Do note, beginning balance is where they were at the beginning of this year. Also, Capital One and Sallie Mae aren’t shown because those balances are higher than what they were… and I didn’t bother to figure out how to show [...] ...

July 22, 2008 at 8:03 pm ET So I started my new job last night. And boooy, does it suck. I was very tempted to leave during lunch. Check it out:
Lugging 40 pound boxes of books to and fro
It’s hot as balls
Unrealistic quotas
It’s a pretty steady 85 degrees or so inside, while the temp outside manages to drop down to the upper [...] ... (more) Monday, July 21, 2008 Great, Where We Going? (4 clicks)

July 21, 2008 at 12:18 pm ET This started out as a comment on Dedicated’s recent article, Road Trip. It kind of, uh… grew.
I suppose I was lucky in that my parents pretty much didn’t care what I did, long as I came back in one piece. It could be due to the fact that I was their 4th, and all the [...] ... (more) Thursday, July 17, 2008 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 I’m Hired! (5 clicks)
From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
July 16, 2008 at 10:30 pm ET Pending the results of the drug test (which damn well better come back clean), I’ve got the job at the book warehouse/distro center. The pay is $10.61/hr, which is acceptable to me. I updated my budget for the first time in forever, and figure it leaves me about $50 short every month, not including emergency [...] ...

From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
July 15, 2008 at 10:59 pm ET I’m still alive, anyway. I’ve been busy doing trivial, mundane things for the past week. Why? Because a week ago I was suspended and demoted. Completely my fault (my inability to wake up in the morning), but I’m trying to turn it into a positive as best I can. The suspension was only for a [...] ...

From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
July 11, 2008 at 3:59 am ET Walt Thiessen just wrote a great article entitled “Ron Paul Money Bombs: Not What They Used To Be.” This pretty well sums up part of it:
Instead of raising millions, the final tally board shows that they raised roughly $17,000 combined for 25 or so candidates.
Of course, I recommend reading the entire article. This does very [...] ... (more) Tuesday, July 1, 2008 No Internet (11 clicks)
From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
July 1, 2008 at 10:09 pm ET Since my sister and her husband moved out from across the hall, I’ve had no internet (obviously, as I’d been mooching off of their network). So, posts will be few and far between - whoopee.
No progress on anything, the girl is gone, and I really want to quit my job (but really don’t have another [...] ... (more) Tuesday, June 24, 2008 A Few Bills Paid (5 clicks)
From Debt Sucks - view blog entries - visit this blog
June 24, 2008 at 10:29 pm ET I finally cleaned my apartment yesterday! It looks like I’ve been robbed, actually. And guess what I found while I was cleaning? Last month’s electric bill. Turned out that yes, I failed to pay it. But that’s okay, they sent me a brand new one the other day. My usage has been seeing a steady [...] ... (more) Items 1 - 25 of 50
