Welp, here I am again 4 days from payday and I only have like $15 for groceries until then..
I am very good at bills and debts and have never had a late payment or anything..but I am not so good at actually having money last until the next payday. This results in crappy food eating for a few days
My friend suggested I cash my paycheck and put all the actual cash in different jars for certain things..ie: food, entertainment..etc..and NOT be allowed to go to another jar when one jar is empty..
Has anyone tried the jar method? Any others good tips? My problem is I am impulsive..I could easily have enough money to last if I just didn't buy "those 4 cds and go for dinner and a movie two nights in a row"
Thanks guys!
