It's called living paycheck to paycheck and at the end of the pay period, if you still have money left over that has not been spent, then you can save it. More than likely though, you won't have any until you get your next check. And that $83 is my car insurance payment for one month or about a sixth of my rent.

No, not just anyone can put 10% of their check into a retirement account. For me and a bunch of other folks, that 10% of their check is a week or two of gas money.

Thank you for this comment. Most people only think of themselves in these kinds of matters and have very little desire to try to understand what those who are suffering are going through. I honestly wish our society was less condemning of those who made premature end of life decisions.

I wish I could be one of those people who didn't have some horrible negative crap happening to me all the time. I am thankful for what I have and am cognizant that I have it better than some people, but depression, etc, makes it really hard to see that sometimes.

I would think most of these are just basic human decency, but to see how they go violated, read the If You Can't Afford to Tip blog, which is pretty much the restaurant equivalent of People of Walmart, but with shocking customer and server attitudes as opposed to appearances: http://ifyoucantaffordtotip.com/

Not being able to understand body language and social cues is a huge issue apparently. I have Schizoid Personality Disorder and as such, I cannot read body language and social cues at all and I have had massive issues reading into things. Asking directly seems to be a deal breaker for a lot of potential dates.

I recommend freeway rest stops. I would lean the seat all the way back and grab a jacket or blanket and sleep there. They are usually fairly safe.

That is unusually honest reasoning, and also kind of ridiculous at the same time. But at least they were somewhat honest.

Truth. I got a bad performance review at my job that ended Dec. last year and I was fired 2 weeks later. I didn't even get time to improve. The employer also recognized that I was making every effort to improve based upon guidelines they asked me to follow plus extra effort. Sometimes your best just isn't enough.

I love PCPartPicker. I used that site to build my current machine and the process probably would have been a significant pain in the ass without it. I really like PCPP's compatibility listing and how it automatically filters compatible parts with what you select and how it has prices for several competing sites on it.

Until we get back to an age where it is not an employer's job market, this kind of BS will continue to perpetuate itself in the workforce.

This whole entire article is shameful and disrespectful to the average job hunter, and yet, I aqm entirely not surprised this kind of behavior goes on, especially living in a world where they hold all the cards for these kinds of decisions because it still is an employer's market out there.

For some of us, we steal because we can't afford to indulge in the media anymore if we want to pay our actual bills. I realize it's theft, and I am hurting those whose work I swipe, and it's not that I feel entitled to it, I would just like to listen to or watch that particular thing. I may or may not buy that thing…

I know this comment is from back in June, but this article was just updated recently and I wanted to say I agree. It is the worst of everything smartphone, and gets rid of the slick look Android had that made it, IMHO, the best.

I'm pretty sure Target's store brand ARE Bounty paper towels because they have the same cross patterns that Bounty do, and they pick up just like Bounty, but they only cost 99 cents or $1 depending on your Target's prices. Mine run about $1 plus tax.

Not a college student, but working a minimum wage job, and I ditched my $40/month plan with MetroPCS and have a $10/mth plan on this small wireless carrier for 5 cents a minute and 2 cents for texts. Saving a good chunk of change every month. I have a HSI connection at home on a desktop PC and it works out better.

I'm not sure if it stacks or not but like Lyrrad says below, the charity gets more upfront with an affiliate link.

No fault there. People are fucking vultures these days, especially where the workplace is concerned and doubly so if you have one of those extroverted, after work hours events type of workplaces. I got fired from mine a couple weeks before Christmas last year because I didn't attend or participate in ANY of those…

In addition to the Amazon Smile, which is friggin awesome, and has all the charities I like, there are also Amazon affiliate links. Ask an organization if they have one and if you click on it and then make your amazon purchase, that organization will get a percentage of it.

All I can say about this is that it's about goddamned time.
