Do you live paycheck to paycheck?

[SumoNinja]

i live paycheck to paycheck. i was good when my wife was working but she's not right now because she's pregnant with twins. I got a 2 yr old daughter and a 9 month old boy. will soon have twin girls. I'm the only one working and I live paycheck to paycheck. I am a happy humble person though.

i'm not materialistic, don't have toys,........... material things don't make me happy. my wife, my kids, my big family is what makes me happy. you don't have to have much money, it just depends what's important to you

True that! Fish also makes me happy.

I save more than I spend each week.

I however only have to worry about myself.

i live paycheck to paycheck w/no savings, i'm 24 and still paying for the mistakes i've made in the past.

how'd that happen.

I left it on one night and a thunderstorm slammed the house while I was gone. Dell couldn't even figure out what was fried to get it to work again. Wound up having to replace the whole CPU.

Whats your job?

Working in Purchasing for Bearings and Drives. I work in a warehouse where I'm the only female in the building. Drama free workplace!! My bosses have a great sense of humor too. They don't mind it when I turn their faxes into paper airplanes and fly them into their offices....

I have no job. I cannot find one for the life of me. My car finally died and I'm almost out of money.
I'm one week away from selling everything I own and sneaking onto a boat, Bruce Wayne style, to a foreign country.
I just want to get away. You can only keep your chin up for so long until all hope is lost.

Been there. I had to resort to a temp agency. That's how I landed B&D. They made me permanent after 3 months. I had just about given up.

While I used to have a decent amount of savings, (just savings account though, no real long term solution yet) the economic downturn has eaten away all of that. Of course as a grad student I can take out more loans, but why would I want to do something like that? So after cuts in hours, pay, etc, but being able to keep a job I feel I am better of than some in this wonderful mitten of a state, (MI is just Adams Smith's invisible hand of the market smacking sense into the rest of the country... World).

So if anyone has need for a shipping consultant and logistics specialist, graduate studies can be put on hold for a good opportunity, AND I'm willing to relocate.

I live less than paycheck to paycheck. Not good for a father of 3 fighting for custody of 1 of them...
