Quote from: King Malachite on June 02, 2014, 05:30:56 PMIt seems like I'll never get enough money to get top surgery, even with the job I have. I just make too little, and what I do make will seem to have to go to other things.
You finally got a job?
If you're employed only part time, it may be prudent to seek a second job. What I plan to do is have at least two, if not three, jobs, deposit one paycheck into my checking account to pay for basic nececities and have a bit left over (should be about $100 per two weeks left if I did the math right) and then deposit the one from the second job straight into my savings account, try and save up that way, and know to only touch the money in the savings account in an emergency.
Right now, first step is just getting one job, I can worry about the second and possible third one after I finally get hired to one, establish the basic necessities and get myself back on my feet, then focus on saving.
Going to take a while, also should find somewhere to live that's cheaper. I was told that I'd be paying $200 a month here, subleasing from my friend. But that was the under the table price. Since she was going to be out of the country, I wanted to make sure everything was official. Didn't realise that meant paying the official ($350 a month) sublease fee. And "utilities included" means water, internet, and amenities that I don't use, like the pool and exercise room (I can't drop too many more pounds or I'll be underweight, I get enough exercise from walking everywhere) and gas and electricity were a separate fee, $30 a month. So it jumped from $200 to $380 a month. Can't keep that up for a year. To find somewhere for less than $300 a month means sharing a 3 bed/1 bath place with 3 other people. I'd much prefer to live alone, or at least have my own bathroom, as I have here.
