I work a 9-6 shift and I get paid $13.00 , but I have a wage garnishment that makes me get about $500 every 2 weeks after taxes and benefits. Not to mention I have bills: rent, gas, food, phone bills, etc, including unexpected troubles. I often have to ask for money for food and gas to get back and forth to work. I don't like to spend money so i try to hold onto every penny I have, so I don't go shopping, I don't go to the hair salon, I don't buy cd's or magazines or go out to dinner, don't go to concerts, vacations or any of those other things that cost money. People ususally think that I am just being cheap or I am saving my money. I look for evening jobs but they usually want me to start my shift a 6pm but I'm still at work. What can I do? I don't have any funds for an unexpected emergency. My wage garnishment will last for 1 more year. I am getting desperate.
