Wretched Rent Day is upon us again.
But you, fellow responsible adult, are totally prepared!
You've already signed away half a month's pay on one of these bad boys.
So you can continue living in this gem.
You've even turned it in on your way to work! Congrats! People will tell tales of this amazing feat for eons to come.
However, you can't help but feel like you've forgotten something.
FUUUUUUU - You were so busy being responsible about rent, you forgot about bills.
There goes $100 so your weird subletter can jerk off to Muppet porn on the Internet.
And another $150 cause your other roommate believes in "Christmas all year round!"
By the time the all bills are paid, you've sunk an entire socioeconomic class.
But still, you handled your business. Pat yourself on the back.
But then, an e-mail: YOU ARE ONE DAY LATE ON YOUR STUDENT LOAN REPAYMENT, THIS IS SERIOUS AND MAY RESULT IN FINES.
Thanks to those delinquency charges, you've basically paid rent twice today.
It's OK, you still have wine and all that prepaid cable at home to comfort you.
A couple glasses later, you're starting to feel better. Who needs money, anyway?
A bottle and a half later, you feel great. You'll be making bank tomorrow!
That's when your landlord calls to tell you your rent check bounced.
Because of all the money you spent today.
Trying to be a goddamn adult.
As you call your parents, you feebly think, next month has to be better.
