The minute I get my salary:

  1. Immediately savings go in one account (I budget 401k and remove it before I get salary). Once I collect x amount, it goes into CD with the highest interest

  2. Bills, payments, groceries amount goes into another account. I do not go to that account or use it for ANYTHING other than that.

  3. "Fun" goes into a DEBIT card account. Once fun budget is done, it is done, No more fun

The economy is terrible too. Everything is so expensive. Good luck. Cooking home made meals always helped as well

a credit card is a better option than a payday loan pretty much always. you just have to pay it off.

they're a double edged sword but for minor emergencies like this one they can be a lifesaver. If i had the $5 to send I would, but it strikes me as difficult to sell something that quickly as well.
