$6? Lucky bastard.

You can whore yourself out to 1000 fat chicks for 50 bucks a piece. Or you whore yourself out to 50 fat chicks for 1000 bucks apiece.

Go to you local Food Bank explain situation and ask for 3 days of food.
[–]dLeTe 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
The local food banks are wonderful and everyone should utilize their service when in need. My family was very poor when I was growing up. The food bank kept us alive many times. I donate to a local food bank bi-weekly now just because I know there are people that need it, it works, and it helps. "Today you, tomorrow me" and all that "pay it forward" stuff.

You obviously aren't unemployed...Are you just bad with money? I mean damn even when I was making minimum wage I didn't let my finances get that out of control

You're still in the black, which means no bank has gaffed some rediculous $35 fee for overdrawing the account. Do they have pump first then pay gas stations where you live?

I was even worse off one time and went fishing and caught a big fish so I could eat that day. I also walked around looking for change in parking lots. I was too proud to beg or go to a food bank.

Freshman year of college, I somehow managed to feed myself on $3.50/week. You can do it!

Ramen works wonders.

I'm a little overwhelmed by the amount of sound advice I received here. I mean, I was trying to make light of a crappy situation, but it was pretty cool to see people cared. To answer some questions: I just finished a semester of school a few weeks ago and I have a very good job, they just withold a paycheck and I had a few unexpected incurred expenses this month, I'm usually pretty good with my money. I'll be alright, I have some canned vegetables and I can bum off of my roommates for food, I'll leave the food bank for truly needy people. Driving to work will be a challenge. I'm going to try to find a coworker in my area to grab a ride with for the next few days, maybe even make a permanent carpool out of it. But once again, thanks for being cool people. This is why I love reddit.

I do this every two weeks bro, protip: Go to a Quiktrip, use your bank card as CREDIT at a pump and fill that shit up. QT (for me at least) takes 3 - 4 days to post stuff used as credit to your account, so as long as you get your money in on Friday, you won't get overdraft fees. I do this twice a month. It fucking SUCKS.
As an aside: My power got cut off today and my wife kicked me out of the apartment. So, that's cool too. And I don't get paid until the 5th.

I've been in this situation many times. Especially since my family is extremely poor.

If you live in Portland get the Oregon Trail card. Its really helping out during these lean times.

You may be able to overdraw your bank account. This is not a good long-term strategy, but it beats the hell out of starving or losing your job due to not being able to drive to work.
I once overdrew my bank about $600 for 30 days and they only charged me $35 for the privilege. They're rich and shit.
[–]Dr_Emmet_Brown 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I got paid today.. Have 15 bucks left till i get paid again in 2 weeks... and my gas light came on on the way home from work today. so tomorrow ill put 15 in gas. I have some rammen left in the cabinet. Maybe someday ill stop living like a 19 year old and more like the 28 year old I am.

I had a few hundred until yesterday. Apparently someone in TX stole my card info and went shopping.
1.41 left in the account until Friday.
Good to the both of us!
