money woes..

I know the economy is going down the drain. Everything is way more expensive than what it used to be.

I just received my phone bill, it's about 150 dollars more than usual. On top of that i have student loans i have to pay back. I need 4 new tires for my car, i need to get the oil changed, the emissions light is on.. and it trembles when i go over 70 in it.

I have credit card bills, i have gas to pump, and various personal items i need to buy.

How exactly am i supposed to manage?

I don't know but my dad is about to quit his job and I'm going to have to chip in with the bills...
