i do my job, to the best of my ability. $9/hr, biweekly pay. no union at the store im at now. well im expecting a fat check for 70+ hrs of work. i pick it up today expecting 550-600ish, and its $442.76.
while not bad at all(especially considering my old jobs), i need to replace my liscence back(lost it a few months ago), pay back $70 to my brother, plus books for school(i start on sept 6th). my school books alone could be close to 400. fucking fuck.
Yeah that sucks bro! I'm always doing it, thinking I'm gonna get paid x amount and then it's always a few hundred short of x. Dayuuum, ya think you'd learn eh?Quote:

Welcome to my sad little world.
The world of a broke college student.
I too have roughly the same job as far as money and paychecks, and believe me, I also hate when I'm expecting a fat check and I get a fraction of what I'm expecting.
The good thing is, for me at least, is that I seem to get a really large tax-return, so that sort of makes up for it, if you wanna look at it like that, lol.
Are you starting out college, too, yoda? My freshmen year alone I probably spent close to a G on books and shit, so it only gets worse. I try and get the ones I absolutely HAVE to get, and just go without the others. And my school also offers a re-sale program for used books, so after they're done collecting dust on my shelf, I can get a 1/4 of what I paid for them, but hey, lol, it's at least something.
Then I usually go and buy weed with that money, so I feel a little better about wasting my money on over-priced books. ~
taxes are a bitch...i cant wait until the revolution...:p
do you claim the right deductions??? If they are taking to much out you will get a fat income tax return,you can buy a pound of pot with it,,, and make a fortune,,, and never have to buy any books again...
BTW it's been my experience not to put OT in for our reason,but it's better than a salary job with outragous hours and no OT...
wait till you got 3 kids from 3 mommas
and child support kicks in
then we'll talk about taxation
order your books online. i saved at least $300 doing that
I tried that my first semester last year, and it saved me some, but then every quarter after that I'd get my book list too soon before classes started and we HAD to have books, so I just got 'em at the school bookstore instead.
Guess that's how the college makes all its money then!? Lol.
