This is a rant/unload post so don't read it if that's not your deal.
I've been really depressed and overwhelmed and here's why. Our lease is up on the 13th; that is very soon. However, even though I mentioned how important it was to give 60 days notice and I said "oh, we'll get a paper telling us to give our 60 days notice if we are leaving" my roomates didn't hear me very well and obviously didn't read their lease because not only did they throw away the paper about the 60 days notice we got from our leasing agency, they didn't tell me about it. So now we owe tons of cash, blah blah...cash that I don't have. And here's why:
I just spent two grand to get my car's transmission fixed. Most of it is borrowed money from my father who, if you know him, is worse than any bank when it comes to paying back loans. Also, I have a total of five (5) tickets to pay...the two oldest tickets, if i don't pay, will cause my license to be suspended on the 10th (that's also quite soon). In order to pay the tickets, I have to renew my car insurance and registration (I know, this is all my fault). This all stems from my financial downfall back in December/January. It's not like my debts are anything crazy, nothing I couldn't pay off in 1 or 2 months if I didn't have to pay rent. However, the fact that one of those debts is to a bank means that I have to wait like 5 years until I can have another bank account. Now THAT is crazy.
Let me explain the fallacy of this system: Say I have a big problem with going into debt to a bank, but then I pay them off within the same year. I now have to suffer for five years. It's pretty hard to get anything done in this country without a checking account, if you haven't noticed. For instance: how am I supposed to renew my insurance? This has to happen in five days. It's a big cyclical catch-22.
All I know is that I have to be prepared to move somewhere in a few days. I need to ask my parents if I can at least leave my stuff at their house in my old room. How do I let things get so wonky? I don't know...it's not like I am irresponsible with money or anything. I think I just choose not to deal with things if they aren't 100% pleasant or non-tedious. It's like I refuse to take part in certain aspects of reality. However, people who do that can't survive for long unfortunately.
interested to see how this all turns out? Well, I am, at least.
