I'm panicking because I just received my bi-weekly paycheck and it's already spent. Mortgage, thou art a foul, foul creature. Food has become a luxury item. I will be paying for everything for the next two weeks with credit cards which has my heart already lurching and sitting way up high in my throat. This life of poverty (metaphorical...I know, there are many people wayyyy worse off than me) is not one I was cut out for. I'm considering marrying merely as a way to consolidate debt.
