How it feels getting a job and having $300 in my checking account after being unemployed for 5 months

jamesf797 · 2 months

Way to go dude... I was in a class last semester and the prof. was going on some rant about how young people don't save enough/think about their future. He asked a few questions and then asked, "Just wondering... who has $1000 or more in their checking account right now" I looked down and frowned as about half the class raised their hands... I had $3.00 or so in there that day, but the internship I was working at the time turned in to a paying position... plus I knew those kids only had that much money because their parents gave it to them... i'd rather have a humble amount of money that I earned myself by working than a boatload that was just given to me from my parents. I'm 23 for fuck's sake.

I lost my job 2 months ago and I'm down to $60... Paid all my bills for last month and then my cc info got stolen so my bank account is frozen and now I can't even get to what little money I have left. Been looking for a new job non stop. I do stand up comedy for money, used to do it for fun but when I lost my job I got the balls to start hosting my own shows and getting paid. I only get paid a little bit a show but with me losing my job came something good out of it.

I'm 21 and I finally have $1000 in a savings account. I was only able to save about $100 a month consistently but now I'm getting a roommate so I'll be able to save an extra $300 a month. Then once my car is paid off in two months I'll be able to save an extra $200 a month. It's all going straight into savings. I've been unemployed before and got to the point where I literally had $0.00 in my account and I think building up a safety net is the best thing you can do for yourself.

Congrats on the job and good luck!

My friend has been trying to hire someone for a while now. They've already let two people go as the employees were on Facebook/goofing off at work. That may sound mean but they have to make money/do work or the company is shot.

They were being paid them $15 an hour but I'm guessing that's not enough in North, NJ. for a sales/assistant.

tl;dr: Good people are hard to find.

Also: GRATS ON THE JOB!

I'm happy for you man, just be sure not to talk about your new job or products that will be released in the coming couple weeks. We saw how that panned out for the last unemployed bloke.

I felt the same way. Unemployed for almost a year. $300 in my account after first paycheck. Then brought back to reality when I tried to by an iPad :-(

It is burning a whole in my pocket and /r/frugalmalefashion is killing me.
