brokebitch scenerio #20: the gambler

I notice I gamble a lot with my bank account. I don't do the typical gambling as that would take available funds. For instance, I need gas. So in the state of North Carolina they take a $1.00 then take the rest out one day, twodays, three days, or even a week later! Therefore if I know I'll have funds later I get gas and hope it doesn't come out til my funds are securely in the account. I've lost the bet once. It sucked. So therefore I wouldn't recommend it. It cost me $55 for gas that time and all my car saw was $20 in gas. The bank was happy.

I try to see what I can eat economically for a week until payday. So today I returned weight watcher meals because I can make my own pasta last longer. I'm returning Velveeta shells and cheese tomorrow to buy toilet paper. there's no embarrassment anymore which concerns me. However, I know this won't be forever. Maybe that's why I can do it with my head held high. I work hard at 50 hours a week. I deserve to get my money back if I can't get the most out of a product.

Someday I'll buy multiples of that product without blinking. Oh how I can't wait for that day of freedom. So on this day of freedom I close my eyes and dream of that day. Dreaming does make me believe in days like this.
