i know that the new way we're doing bills and money is a better way. it keeps us from being overdrawn - but it's hard to adjust to. it used to be that if we needed something, we'd just go get it, while "borrowing" from another bill that i was holding the money for - but now, i move the money out of our main account, so while i may still be "holding" money for a certain bill, it's not in the bank account we use - it's not so easy to get to. and since we pull out the cash for anything we need that isn't a bill - we only have XX dollars left each week for gas, groceries, etc. it's going to get better - but right now it really sucks. we have $20 for gas for me (nick already has gas) and groceries until friday.
now, don't get me wrong, we have food - but we need more milk, we need more butter, i scrounged up some loose change and got a loaf of bread at lunch, and we're running low on dog food. so it'll be better next week, and the week after, and i will, hopefully, not have that sickness in the pit of my stomach feeling anymore everytime i look at the bank account - but adjusting sucks.
keeping my fingers crossed that this works and that it does get better.
now if only nick and i could get raises.
btw - working for a company that doesn't give raises every year is really shitty. i just wanted to say that.
