I have weeks like that too. Obviously I pay the rent. The electricity
company will be fine if I ring them and say it'll be a week late.

Every month is like that for me. Someone has to help me or it won't
all get paid, as I don't make enough on my own to pay it.

It depends what you class as necessities. As a general rule, no. I will
however buy the very cheapest option of those necessities if I have to. Why
buy Sunicrust Bakery bread when the supermarket bakery brand that's $1 a
loaf cheaper will still fill my belly just as well. Sure, it may not taste
quite as nice, but when I need some money for something, and I use 10
loaves of bread a fortnight, I have to.

I wasn't able to buy both bread and milk this evening, but I did buy
milk.

That depends what your priorities are. You don't have _nothing_.

I'm pretty close.

You obviously get enough to eat, otherwise you'd be in hospital
suffering from malnutrition, rather than posting here.

I buy food that's cheap, when I have money. Unfortunately it tends to
be high in carbohydrates.

You may _think_ you have nothing compared to what some other people
might have.

It depends on to whom you compare me, but if the person in question is
normal middle class, I have very little.

Don't worry about other
people. Just worry about yourself, and stop feeling sorry and depressed for
yourself.

Try being undepressed with no money. It doesn't work for me.
