Technically I get paid again on Friday August 29, but usually since I have direct deposit, my money ends up in my account on Thursday evening.



If you have lunch and gas for the week, and your other bills are paid, it kind of sounds to me like you have things covered. Boring that you can't impulse shop anywhere, but oh well...I think you have a nice yard, right? and you could read a book.
Was there something specific you were looking for ideas about, or just encouragement?
I am sure you can do this!! Good luck and say if you are looking for specific ideas.
You can do it! If you have the essentials paid for then you really don't NEED anything. Its just going to be temptation!
This happened to me once, only I didn't have the essentials covered, lol. I just returned all the old beer and wine bottles in the garage and got $22.00! Now, before you go thinking I am an alcoholic, whenever friends come over, its BYOB, and they leave the empties here.

You need a change jar in the house. When you get short that is where you go for the extra money a Change jar can or a quart jar can hold between 15.00 to 20.00 if it is full.

It's hard to live without c/c's and the true test is weeks like you are having - tight money weeks. I have been credit card free (don't hear me wrong - I have the debt but have not used the cards) for about 6 months or more. It feels great to know that although we might have a tight MONEY week it is money we have - not money we are borrowing. You can do it too.
Good luck and get creative with what you have at home.
