I do talk about being poor sometimes, but never really say how bad it is. I've been under-employed for a couple of years, and my little job isn't enough for me to make ends meet. My landlord has sent me court papers for eviction and I have to respond with $$ by Tuesday, which is the court date.
I've told my friends that I stopped being proud a long time ago, but I guess I hadn't....
This makes me crazy.... Even now, I have trouble saying it "out loud." I need $2,000 by Tuesday or I'll have to be out by next Friday. I have a little money, but nothing like two grand. I also have a PayPal account, but have only used it once to pay for something. I don't know the first thing about receiving through it. I do have a call out to my one rich friend to ask for a loan, but I'm not sure even she can come up with that kind of scratch so quickly. I know I should have spoken up sooner, but I honestly thought I could figure it out. Gah! I HATE this!
