.... you have to eat hamburger helper without the hamburger
.... the dishes haven't been washed in weeks because they haven't been used in weeks
.... you waste a whole day at the laundromat because one of the machines is washing for free
.... you drive a mile further down the street for gas that is $.03 cheaper
.... you and your roommate keep gettin AOL's 2 month trial memberships and turning them off after a month and a half just for the internet connection
.... you get mad at homeless people asking YOU for change
.... you become a vegetarian because you can't afford meat
.... you charge people for rides like a taxi
.... your rent is paid for the month two days before the next month is due
