Spent all my savings last few days...

Money just disspaiered without any notice... i didnt expect to be cash less ...

Last time when i was cashless was in 2003 in uni, where i had 100 £ a week allowance...


Anyway, i have no food in the fridge, only 17 pounds, i get paid on the 22nd...

Of course i have a credit card but i dont want to pay cash advance fee ...

There is a very nice fish n chip shop down the road from me, im thinking of going spending a fiver on fish :chin:


Anyone else was / are in a tight financial situation??

Wouldn't spend a fiver on some fish n chips m8.. get some pasta and some other basic stuff which will last you longer. Checking a friend's place around dinner time is always an option.. If you got some extra herbs on your hands maybe this is the time to let go of some?

Good luck with that!

sperm bank?

blood bank?

offer to do some odd jobs for the neighbors/friends/family?

sell something?

is there an equivalent of 'The Home Depot' near you? here, the laborers line up in the morning for cash jobs digging holes/mowing lawns, etc...
 
No sympathy here....i have a buddy that existed on rice and beans for a year to get his life changed around...he ate the least expensive stuff and got by fine..and you spend a fiver on greasy fish and chips??

You can eat well on 17 quid if you settle for nutrition and not taste only...the dollar is so weak now that equals about 35 bucks and that could get anyone by for a few days if they did their research and shopped intelligently. Do it.

Shouldn't have gotten that fish, 5'll get you a lot farther at the supermarket than it will at the fast food joint.

Make beans on toast. An economy can of beans is only about 20p from Tesco, and a cheap loaf of bread is only about 50p.
