You have no idea how big a deal this is. (Sad, isn’t it?)
The last few months, it’s been terribly hard to keep my account in the black. I have an automatic overdraft thingy, but it costs me $27 every time it kicks in, and because my balance hovers around zero, one od deposit throws everything out of whack.
Part of the problem, I think, has been the whole marriage thing…things were so negative here that I just found myself lacking the energy to deal with it, to care, to take care of it. Now that things are getting back on track, I’m able to devote more energy to making sure that things don’t go awry.
SO! No overdrafts for me this week! Whoohooo! I’m going to celebrate!
[consults calendar]Oooh! And I might get paid on the first Tuesday of December, which is coming right up! That’s even better!

I know how that feels. Believe me.
Good for you!
Yay!
Funny, my hubby was out of town for a month and we ended up having money left at the end of the month since he couldn’t just draw anytime he passed an atm.
Didn’t last long but it was nice.
I’m so happy things are looking up for you.
Yeah Bodypoet!!!
I totally understand about letting the bookwork go when your in bad circumstances. I haven’t done much with the check book since Leifsdad lost his job in May.
God Kricket mine too! He asked how much we had in the bank and when I told him I didn’t know, don’t take anything out until I get it back under control, he withdrew $100 that sent us into a spiral that cost his entire paycheck.
