Spending mistake

I went on a spending spree, after checking my bank balance after my disability check was put in. I deducted what I remembered of my bills and than bought groceries and stuff to organize my apt. Thinking I was fine. About 200.

Truth is I'm behind and over extended. Forgot about my health insurance, my brother's checks, and upcoming car payment, totalling 559. I was broke before I started but with my next paycheck I would have been ok. Now I'm wondering how to afford gas for work the next two weeks. I feel up 2x to 3x a week.

Take some things back?

Do you make enough to justify such high gas expense. I work over 30 miles from home and I only fill up once a week. I used to live further away and drive an older car and I filled up more often but still I could off set that with a somewhat decent income. If you are on disability and aren’t very high income, driving that far to work is unreasonable. You need to work close to home.

Return what you bought or/and borrow some money?

Did you leave tags on the things that you bought? Or do you still have them and the receipt?

Bought from amazon. It's returnable but 50 bucks won't help much. See what my check is tomorrow. I have 3 interviews this week. Hopefully one at least turns into a job.

I dont know about you but 50$ is significant to me. Its groceries or prescriptions. Or gas.

Yeah, $50. Is a lot to me too.

Might be worth returning anyhow. $50 can go a long way!

I lost my **** and spent over $3000 recently. I just sat like I was stoned ordering item after item from Amazon mostly, but also like Ron Jon surf shop (wth?) Fossil, Carhartt...Walmart, jcpenney. Do not under any circumstances let yourself feel like a bad person. I have been feeling like a bad person for sure. But my wife finally took me by the shoulders and was like stop...just, stop... and I sent back as much as I possibly could (even if it was only ten bucks). I was able to put back about a third or so. Maybe more. I bought MYSELF 48 pair of freakin sports socks! Who does that?

I did something like this this week

I purchased a new alexa (even though the old one was lost, and would probably be found eventually), and now I have no money to buy the complete dvd set of voltron which I really wanted.

if I didn't buy the alexa, I could have just aforded it.. now I need to wait
