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.

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.

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.

Get it right.

No worries though. This life of chill I live right now won't last forever.

surprised caffeine still has an effect on you. i think i built up an immunity to it or something. i'll still pass out in class after drinking a cup or two.

and nope i don't touch the decaf stuff.
