roughing it

These past few weeks have been really hard for me. I have been super broke! Usually, I would go to the check cashing place and borrow $300, but my bf talked me out of it. So both of us have been living really rough lately and even though it has been hard, I'm proud of myself for not getting into more debt. Before I would have also used my credit cards and max them out after getting them paid down. I haven't done that this time either because my bf made me cut up all my cards a few months ago.

I was feeling relieved thinking about payday on Tuesday and then the car problems started. Nothing too serious, just regular maintenance needs to be done. I'm kinda nervous because I've heard that it can get expensive. Tomorrow after work we are going to the Mercedes dealership to assess what needs to be done and how much it will cost. My appointment to have the work done is Tuesday. I have to work but bf is taking it in for me. I really hope it is no more than $500. Anything more and we're going to have to sacrifice for another two weeks.

I hope the car work won't be expensive too. I need some work done on my car as well.

And stay strong. It sucks to be broke, but you will get out of that!
