He’s the keeper of our lives and pays late. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Monday. My mind and finances are in a—Wait! For God’s sake—it’s already a Tuesday... (Radio Silence.) It’s biweekly now. After you promised us that you’d go back! Then I was told to keep better track, HOW?! You’re the one who holds no financial slack. I understand you’re trying to survive. If you’re going through it, tell us the plan. If you don’t have one, we’ll try to contrive, But communication is key, “Boss Man.” While you were out running around, we worked. A year and some change, we kept this place fed, No care in your mind, your member perked, For some young tail and some, “Pretty mean head.” Stop eating us alive. -Bank-Account-Thursday-12/26/24- -556.07 (Car Payment) -190 (Progressive Insurance) -55 (Cricket Wireless) Available balance: -68.36 ------------------------------Push the loans back. No, I can’t… -Friday-12/27/24- -200 (Care Credit Loan) -80.10 (Affirm Payment) -40 (overdraft fee) Available balance: -388.46 ------------------------------ I can’t ask Dad for help again. -Wednesday-1/1/25- -40 (overdraft fee) +1500 (Paycheck Deposited) -1, 000 (RENT) Available balance: 71.54 ----------------------------- I’ll try to eat ramen this week. -Thursday-1/2/25- -50.31 (Walmart) Current Balance: $21.23. --------------------------------- What a great “Keeper” of our lives.
