Try Not to Spend it All in One Place

With much relief and anticipation, I received my first paycheck in the mail last Friday.

$44

That's forty-four dollars.

I knew before it got there that it would only be a partial week. However, what I did not know, is that the insurance is billed a full month in advance, so a month's worth was taken out of the first check. Ouch.

I figure that I worked for about $1.72 an hour. You just have to laugh. The next one will be better. I am almost certain!

  1. $44 ... a number that brings back memories ...

    I enlisted in the Navy in 1968 ... as a Fireman Apprentice, my payday was $44 twice a month ...

    As I recall, it was all I needed ... always had money in my pocket ...

    But, now ... hmm ...
