Financial Misery September 3, 2008

Money issues suck. I mean, really. My nursing school books cost over $950.  That’s before tuition. Yikes! Oh, and I have 2 boys in braces. Double yikes.  And one of the boys is a teenager, who eats like he has a hollow leg. I can’t keep food in the house. Another yikes. My checking account is going to be a nightmare for the next couple of years. Come on, student loans! Mama needs a new pair of shoes. Literally. I have to have plain white shoes for school. I have plain black shoes, plain pink shoes, more plain black shoes, a ton of sandals, slides and mules, and numerous pairs of running shoes that have white on them, but no plain white shoes. I’ve already spent $100 or so on uniforms, $100 or so on other supplies, $73 for the drug test I have to take, among other expenses. Still before tuition! Can’t wait until I graduate; I’ll be in the money then. Sort of. Then I’ll have to pay for the Nursing Board exam, and pay back all these student loans.
