Nothing's worse than going broke right in the middle of the month. All your plans with your pals crashes, you cannot buy anything, your taste buds die and much more. Keep reading for all the situations which only a broke can relate to:
1. You Cannot Pay Attention to Your Social Life
It is true that going out with your friends declutters your mind and is a very good break from the tension of deadlines you've to met, but what if you cannot sustain the meetings financially. You're left with excuses like
"Oh there's shitload of work that I've to do" or
"Carry on guys".
2. Resisting Trends Becomes Harder
Forget buying a new pair of denims or shoes; you're so broke that you can't afford a humble cup of coffee from the local cafe.
3. Bidding Goodbye to Shopping
You start trashing online shopping newsletter and dumping any such message at this time of the month. Since your account has taken a hit it's better to keep yourself aloof from the online and offline sales magnet.
4. Your Credit Card Dues Worries You
Carrying a credit card balance is the worst thing you can do yourself financially. What if there are multiple cards?
5. Change in Food Habits
From restaurants you straight away come down to Chinese street vans. Maggi becomes immediate savior for brunch, lunch or dinner.
6. You Resort to Decade Old Means of Entertainment
You read illogical magazines (because you've never picked the habit of reading books), listen to music for countless hours and watch old movies (because you fear ending your download limit). Even your phone usage goes down because damn recharges! At times, you even go without internet connection or TV.
7. Building Plans For The Next Month
Your 'things-to-do' list appears more like a dream plan with dwindling hints to succeed.
8. Saving Actually Happens
You actually save during this crucial time. You walk home from work. You safely keep those last remaining notes inside a book and count them the each time you're back. And your home made meal consists of mashed potatoes and cheap noodles.
9. You Turn Towards Social Media To Mourn
You feel like writing "S.O.S" as your Facebook status or crib about life via Tweets. Seeing your friends Instagramming food porn makes you sick. And you start using a lot of money related emojis.
