financial dilemma

today I checked my back acct and I am 35 dollars overdrawn. ugh! But thank goodness for family, I have gas money for next week.
I had 2 funerals this month in my family, and it totally drained my acct and my savings. And this payday is going to hurt the most. I only have 57 hours of work this pay period. sigh
Thank goodness I have understanding boss and was able to do some extra work this week to make up some time. but it wasn't nearly enough. I have to tighten my belt, which is already tightened and come up with some extra money somehow for the next two weeks.
I am totally bummed about my situation. Not only is my wallet drained, so is my emotions.
prayers are in request right now. thank you DS,

How are you doing now? I related to the "tightening of the belt".....not spending money is the same as making more money.....because you can make money and overspend, and up in the same place. Do you know what I mean? That has been my experience, anyway.

Can you share the ways you tighten the belt? That would be a good topic of conversation, don't you think?

Hope things are better today....
