A month before i turned 15 years old i applied at a burger king to get a job locked in by my birthday. I started training before I was 15 and started actually working when I was 15. I worked there for about 2 months, and was then informed of a spot at a Nursing home that i could work at. It was business there, too. I was making bank as a 15 year old, at 7.80 an hour. ALWAYS putting in 28+hours a week. If not more. Sometimes getting around 65 hours every 2 weeks. Anyways, out of my group of friends, I was the most financially set, I had over a thousand dollars that I had earned to my name, and as a 15 year old that was fuckin' balla'. It wasn't easy work, either, working at a nursing home. Its a.. preferred taste. However, I got fired around November. I was lifting, and dropped a 45 pound plate on my foot and it made my foot swollen so I couldn't walk on it. I had to call into work the next morning (I was working every saturday 6 am to 2 pm shifts during school just to get my 250$~a month.) I got along without a job, lots of my friends/people i knew moved during the winter months and their parents paid me to help them move their furniture(i basically did all the work). I probably earned about 300~ ish during the winter and spring months. However, that didn't cut it because my bank account was dwindling down lower and lower than I had ever wanted it.
About 3 weeks ago I got a job at Sears Grand(soon to just be Sears). I had about 60 bucks in my checking account, and -11 in my savings. What the fuck had happened to me? Alcohol mainly, but atleast I was still a kickass rugby and football player(which all 3 went hand in hand). We have direct deposit at sears, so i thought that was tight. We got paid on the 6th, and i had about 100$ worth of training. I was like fuckit, i'm going to go buy some shit. So, I did. Probably spent about 65 dollars worth of things, clothes, etc. Small stuff. A couple days later, I went to my ATM to check my balance on my checking account. -92$ was the balance. I was fuckin' pissed and I still fuckin' am, because that couple days later was yesterday.
Turns out sears never even paid me for my work. So on the 6th, i still had 60 bucks in my account. 3 purchases which were all 3 under 15$ total had charged me upto 93$ i owed.
I'm gonna raise hell at work today. Fuckin' Bastards.
SUMMARY:
I went from plenty of money to no money. What little money I had left, i thought I had more of because sears(my work) told my my check would be in my account on the 6th due to direct deposit. My check never went in, its still not in. So i overdrew my account upto about 100 dollars.
So, i'm upset.
