Money rant

So I write personal stuff on this blog but mostly I let my alter-egos live on my blogs. Today my real thoughts are needing some space. So I just got of the phone with GE Bank who are the holders of my debt. And this debt is a dark cloud, but not a huge one- I chip away at it and sometimes sunshine peaks through. Today a little sunshine peaked through. 

I am a small time spender. I don't buy boats, furniture or motorcycles. I don't have cash hidden away. I get my paycheck in my checking account twice a month and it goes bye bye quick. I pay almost half of my earnings to rent this room I dwell in and occupy, and the rest of my money goes to eating and drinking and getting there. I spend most of my folding money on coffee (big surprise huh?). I don't have a car, I ride public transit, I ride my bike and I get rides with my buddies and my love.(who helps me stay sane)  I don't watch t.v. or pay a cable bill.(I pay for internet) I don't spend crazy. My designer bag is a North Face backpack that hauls everything I use day to day like school stuff.

Every once in a while I buy a book, a cowboy shirt or some guitar strings. 

Yeah so, a little credit forgiveness would be nice, and I got some this morning, but I'm worried.... I go to school, I have a job, but it's not enough.... And like most of America, I'm feeling the hurt. I have to be smart and stay strong and keep my folding money tucked away I guess. Yeah, that's all I have to do.
