When tight spending turns to copper pennies

We all have bills to pay.

Recently, I've accrued so many bills, it's hard to keep track. There is the electric bill, the monthly rent bill, the Sallie Mae loan payment, the AES loan payment and of course the credit card payment. Recently, I've taken on two other bills: a new mattress payment and a medical bill. They all have different due dates, however the majority seem to fall into one week. And when you tally up the money due for all those bills it most certainly does NOT equal the weekly work check I receive.

Whether it be simply not having the money in my account or absentmindedly forgetting when something is due, I find myself "living on pennies." As a way to keep myself on track and provide some insight and suggestions to others in similar financial crises, I decided to start this blog.

Sometimes it'll be about my follies and other times my success at managing money, but rest assure, with this tight economy, everyone will be able to relate.
