Ever call in sick because you can't afford gas?
I have to call in sick today because I can't afford to put gas in my car. Yes, I am that broke. Living alone, making a huge car payment each month and taking a paycut at a new job has finally taken it's toll on me. Anyone else going through this?
I have once called in sick becase I don't have money to pay the bus. At least you have a car. I can't blame you the price of gas nowadays is just crazy!

No not yet, but based on this economy I'm headed in that direction so I feel your pain. I'm going through some terrible times too. God help us all.
