7. But it's bad when you deposit a dollar!! Period.

Then to top it off, the account still only has 4 cents!!

But yeah, I had negatives in college too! I didn't work since I was living on campus and in school full time and in a sorority. My mom put a certain amount in each month. It was usually gone pretty quickly!

On edit, I would work on Christmas break!

5. Bummer. It sucks to be broke sometimes.
That reminds me of a couple of smart-ass lines, I've heard over the years:

"I'm so poor, I can't even PAY ATTENTION!"

and...

"How can I be overdrawn?! I still have checks left!"

and...

"I may be broke, but I'm rich in personality!"


:evilgrin:

12. My account still is like that
Just a couple of weeks ago, I transferred three dollars out of my savings account (because that was all I had in it) to my checking account to avoid an overdraft. It gave me a balance of 15 cents over what I needed to cover whatever I spent. At 44, that's pretty fucking grim.
