A lot of things she doesn't need. I'm saying, with what she makes, she shouldn't have any problem paying her bills and living comfortably. So I have no sympathy for her problems. She brings it on herself. I lived with her for a short time and didn't pay rent, but I actually have more spending money now that I moved into my new apt and pay over $500 a month on rent plus utilities. Crazy eh?

lol yep. Moving out on your own and paying everything 100% alone usually gives you a good appreciation for the value of the dollar like nothing else will.
I hate having debt, and spending too much.. On the other hand I dont shop at bargain places, or use coupons. But I'd rather drive past a restaurant and go to a grocery store, lol. I dunno, whatever works I guess!
