Remember that nice $3400 we had? Well, after paying lots and lots of stuff, we had about $400 left. Dan, obviously not keeping up with what was there (even though I told him), went and paid $196 to the cable company, $150 to Radio Shack (credit card- my computer), and spent close to $200 on his school books. Needless to say, we didnt have money to cover all of that, so the RadioShack check and the cable check bounced… then Daniel spent $17 at Giant Eagle and I spent $2.28 at Shop N Save, so those two bounced… anyway, like six bounce fees later, and a few other transactions, our account is at -$159. The only money we have is a check he got from LJS… its $20.61, but the pricks wont cash it since the account is negative. Meanwhile were out of milk, sugar, cereal, and other items (including paper towels)… and the gas tank has like 2 gallons in it. :sighb: Tomorrow Im going to use the 83 cents we scrounged up tonight to go get gas so I can get to my interview, and then Ill come back here, pick up Daniel and his paycheck, and go pay the 6% fee at this check cashing place to get his check cashed so well have money for gas.
Im seriously thinking of opening up a pay site or some crap. Someone, go buy a layout or click the donate button. Haha. I mean, there will be money coming in, but not for another two weeks or more. :dammit:

    Maybe you could have saved the money and not buy that digital camera, then youll have money to pay your bills, but I guess thats too late now o.O I would donate, but my parents wont let me use money on the net, so Im sorry :(

    Thats why you need to have an account for you, and account for him and THEN have a joint account! As much as you may want to share, unless you want to be put into this predicament again, use your head…get your own personal account and put half of your cheque in one account and the other half in the joint account.

    Ditto. In these situations joint accounts are not the best way to go.. and I also agree with what Michelle said… I hope things work out. I dont have much money right now.. my boyfriend just moved out with my brother and they are scraping to get by and I have been trying to help them. Things will improve. We learn from all of this.
