Money
- at least once in your life, you will go to the store to buy something under $20 and have your card rejected. No one will judge. Everyone has had only $2.98 in their bank account at some point in their lives.
- thrift stores!
- the best way to get money for food is to tell your grandparents about how you basically live on microwaved mac and cheese. Their horror may result in twenty bucks and orders to "go out and get yourself a real dinner."
- generic brand!
- Keep a calendar on your computer of bill due dates. If your bills are set up at inconvenient times, like all of the services started on the first or something, then call up the company and find out if you can get your billing date switched to something more manageable. A lot of places do try to work with you.
- There is no shame in calling a company and asking for an extension on a bill. Let them know what you can pay, pay that amount, and they arrange when the rest of the payment is required. This can stop you from having services shut off. It shows responsibility on your part.
- You can often do your taxes online at places like TurboTax.
