True story, budgets are smart, sexy and cool, but constantly saying "it's not in the budget" means: I have money, but I don't want to use it to hang out with you.

BUT, what you can do is set aside some entertainment money each month, so you are not constantly saying, "I'm broke", which can also make you look like a huge douche, cause you can't manage your own money.

Hahaha thanks. I'm just being a pain in the butt. My motto this year is "Make Money." It's all I think about

And no I don't have cable… but after 10 years of full-time work and paying into the system, I am ok with the US government paying my car payment while I search for a reliable source of income.

But then you wouldn't be who he's referring to right? If you're seeking employment, and your costs are related to survival and getting a job, then you're working on a plan to be un-broke. At least that's what I would think. But if you're sitting up at your parents watching video games all day and haven't even thought to look for a job, well, then maybe my sympathy would be less. That said, best of luck in your job search.

Lol, totally understand! I've been there too, and I'm totally okay with contributing my taxes to the government to help pay your car note!
