I am broke........... AND stupid

So broke.

I have been doing so much retail therapy that now I have to nurse my credit card account. I failed to pay the full amount last month, and was shocked and disgusted to find that I am now slapped with a $23.78 interest charge. Even more so when the customer service told me that there will be a residual interest charge for this interest (??!!) next month! Dang!

So this month I die die also I will pay up the full amount. Will have to wait for my next pay which is next week. Here is where my problem lies. When it rains, IT POURS!

My car rego (our Malaysia version of JPJ?) and car insurance expires end of this month too. And the amount is a couple of hundred bucks short of a grand.

So what do I do, what do I do?!

WHAT. DO. I. DO?!

Okay, my good friend has already labelled me stupid, bodoh, LLC (Lor Lay Chin). My mum thinks I am crazy. Pride or ultimate independence supersedes my feminine side. I do not ask money from my husband.

It's my own doing anyway, isn't it? Who asked me to spend beyond my budget? Not husband's fault mar. If I ask, he surely will give. He even offered to pay for my car insurance. I said no.

Youch! Aiikkss! *Hands fending off shoes and rotten eggs from jee mui moon* (fellow sisters)

So, no more diamonds for me from my Paypal account. Coz the money now goes to the hole I need to patch.

*Head and hands hang low, slowly walk away*

Guys, doncha wish your girlfriend was just like me? Ooo yeaahh... You perlahan-lahan tunggu lar ya? No more woman as dumb as I am wokay?
