Payday used to be so exciting. It used to hold promise and hope. Direct deposit used to feel like sitting on Santas lap as a young lad. With spending power and little responsibility every 2 weeks was like a birthday party, thrown by you.

Too bad now all a paycheck does is make me realize how little money I have and how tight the impending 15 days will be. It's a very good thing I enjoy Mac 'n Cheese.

Ugh.
