Yeah but when you have to spend the money you are trying to save for gas to get to the next job and not having any actual income really sucks especially now that I owe $1800 in court fees
If gas is costing you almost as much as you're getting paid then you're doing something wrong. You should consider looking for something closer to where you live.
Skunk I only make $8/hour and the place is 14 miles round trip. But when you don't have the hours like the last 3 weeks I will have made a stunning $19 and change after taxes are applied. You can't live off of $19 a week and still have money to put in gas.
It costs me roughly $5 to get there and back.
