Job: Cashier at a farmstand

Skrilla made thus far: just over $1000, but getting a $200+ paycheck this week and a $300 next week

Hours a week: Was getting 18 a week, but now I'm getting 30-36

Time until I have to leave my job: 2 months (+ a few weeks hopefully) because the farmstand is seasonal.

How much I have spent on new equipment: $375 on Cross suit (even though I bought it before I got my job.

What the remainder will be spent on: Seasons pass, few day passes, alcoholic substances. Not going to spend alot of it, I want to have some $$$$ left in my bank account.
