never shop while youre hungry.

just got back from wal-mart with my brother. spent $131 combined on food. should only last us a week. im just glad i dont live with my parents anymore, but still live close enough i can stop in and grab something to eat or else i couldnt afford to eat. its hard to live on $750 a month. $300 is car payment, $200 goes towards my rent. that leaves me with $250 for gas and food and other expenses and about $100 of that is just for gas. i can see why so many more people are living at home for longer than moving out on their own. i know so many people who are in their early to mid 20s still living at home while my parents were on their own when they were still in their teens. i didnt even move out until 2 months before i turned 21, and my mom has already invited me to move back in with them.

  6. Don't go shopping when you feel sick either. You end up not buying any food. :/

  7. Yeah it's pretty tough starting out on your own. But the sooner you do it the easier your life will be once you are earning a decent wage.
