i got a rinky dink children's acting job for the next couple months, which is gonna pay, all told, about 3 k (knock on cyberwood).

OR, i could tell me teef to buck up, try to cut back on sweets (not gonna happen) and fly my broke#@% to pakistan next holiday time and get it all done for 20 bucks....

hm. y'know, having family that comes from a broke country has it's upside!

anyway, got the first root canal (of three) done hurr, and that cost me 3 hunrid 'n ten dollas.

put dat on my recently reactivated discover card (which is starting to build up quite a tab, so i gotta get on those payments, what with all the recent brokeness and what not.)

meanwhile, i got a mean minimum payment built up on my citibank card that needs to be addressed. apparently it was the card of choice for some family spending a while back. and that's is a reckoning that must be reckoned. i gotsta help my moms out. for real.

Check your ghetto speak at the door .

I am no longer broke because I got a part time job to pay the bills, Alhamdulilah. That's not to say that I have endless amounts of cash flowing out of my pockets.

Sucks.

2500 dollars for me for a bridge, which is not covered by my student health plan. Fun.

Unless you're a degenerate gambler with shady credit sources, having astronomical debt is often more indicative of large income or the promise of future large income (medical school loans, for instance) than it is indicative of poverty.

For instance, someone who is $500k in debt because they're making payments on a $1 mil house is pretty far from 'broke.'

Broke as a joke!

I'm happy if I have $5 in my account by the time my next paycheck rolls around.

And I work all the friggin time. It's what's kept me away from this place!

Im going back to school.

InshAllah, we will all become ballers and make it rain and ****.
