Not to bring the mood down or anything, but damn I am broke. I have never before been in a position where my income was not enough to meet our basic financial needs. I don't know if it is the higher gas prices or not, but we have NEVER been in this position. It looks like we will be trimming all the fat very soon. No more tv. Unplugged our freezer too.

Wifey didn't get the AP position she expected and the student loans for her will be due in 5 months. ****. The next few months are going to suck a$s.

i wish they pay pharm techs more. we're doing more and more roles in the pharmacy setting, yet getting crap pay. it sucks to work a full day then pump in 65 bucks into the car.

Holy crap! 9K in bills. We just did our budget and with added fuel and food costs this year, we have a $1K/mo. shortfall. Our total is just over $3k/mo. including all debt and the house. This seems to be a common theme though from everyone I talk to.

Thanks bro. I am sure it will. This last year of school will be tough to stay focused. I just hope there is a job waiting for me when I get done.

The pharmacists here are getting paid pretty good. I have heard of 100% placement out of UF for Pharmacy and even have heard of car bonuses and tuition payments when signing your comitment.

A 243 and 12gauge pump in the front seat. Both wifey's as well. Both Remington's too.



The candy wrapper and the car are the only things that are mine.
