Living paycheck to paycheck/Debts

[tnshpalmer85]

Living paycheck to paycheck is not fun, but it even worst when your bills start to go up. Just started earning enough to cover my bills and got a notice on my door that my rent will go up $100 dollars or I have to move out.

Living paycheck to paycheck is not fun at all. It does teach us  to budget our money and
cut back on extra expenses until things get better. I have been focusing on getting out of
Debt with what I have and have paid off two accounts so far.

Remember, we have 2 months per year where we get a third check.

What do you mean we have 2 months per year when we get a third check?

Sounds like a plan to me.  Just start paying off the little debts and than work on the larger ones without going into more debts and you will be ok.

If you owe money on a credit card you need to work on the ones with the highest interest first.

I live more survey site payment to survey site payment but same theory

I know alot of people that get paid on the 15th and 30th so they don't get those extra some months like those that get paid every two weeks

I get paid every week.  Most of the jobs I have had pay every week.

Do you have a lease?  If so they cannot increase the rent until the end of the current lease.  I am not sure but I think they have to give you more than a couple weeks notice they are increasing the rent.  I rented a place once for 3 months.  He told me what the rent would be.  Then when I moved in he told me he was increasing it by $25.  He said he put a new hot water heater in and it needed to be paid for.  The thing is he only paid $75 tax and all because it was only a 6 gallon hot water heater.  I was desperate or I never would have taken the place.
