This is me not panicking... seriously....

NOT!!!

First pay day: January. The job pays monthly.
Current bank balance: $100
Rent: $440 p/m
Credit card debt: roughly $550

Let's just say I had a bit of a panic attack this afternoon and spent most of said afternoon crying. Thank god for my parents, I'd be really up a creek if it weren't for them! I have to pay them back (gradually was the order. No being an independent cuss, not asking for help, and living hand to mouth again like I have been for the last 6 months. I've been ordered that a lot of my pay is to go into my savings account), but I have enough money now to pay rent, buy food, go out for the occasional coffee, and enjoy my birthday/christmas period.

Have I mentioned how awesome my parents are lately?

Ever consider temp work? shit, I supported myself on temp labour for nearly two years. It's not a huge income but it was enough for rent & food :D
