As you may have read in Macheus' thread, I've been serverly depressed lately because of my families lack of money. Unfortunetly, our situation is just slowly getting worse. Our food is getting lower and lower, and we barely have enough money to stock up. My dad is gonna get some bread and some tea tomorrow, but thats all. This Friday is his payday, but...I'm kinda worried. Worried that our food won't stretch that far. I know I gotta hold my head up and keep on looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, but...sometimes it gets hard. Especialy in world like this. I'm not begging for anything, but I...just want some support from you. NO MONEY. Please....no. I just want you to help keep my hope alive till Friday.

I had an idea, but I figured it would be seen as a tasteless comment...it involved roughing it and hunting for/gathering your own food...maybe that's just my inner Boy Scout talking. Anyways, I believe I've heard somewhere that you can get an early paycheck for the promise of working the usual time - it might be helpful if you're desperate for food for whoever brings the paycheck home to ask their boss if they allow such a thing. If you have a bank account open, that can always be a good place to hold things until you are desperate whenever you have a slight inflow of cash...and hold onto every receipt until you next balance your checkbook. Of course, avoid credit cards like the plague. More trouble than they're worth. Basically, if you can just get a foothold on the cash situation, it's easy enough to get another - just keep a long-term goal in mind, and check every step on the way to make sure it's not a croc/gator with an open maw. You just need to be a little Spartan (essentially meaning "bare necessities") on occasion. Trust me, I know my money matters (though admittedly I've been slipping these past two months).
And, as strange as it would sound coming from me, as I don't pray - like, ever - you're in my prayers, WL. Hope it gets better.
