I feel ya man. I need a job that pays out some serious dough.

my solution:

gift recycling, ebay, target or go to the supermarket for gifts.

or change your religion and brake up with your girlfriend temporarily between december 1st and February 15th.

Forget that thought - the more you make, the more you spend. It's like shopping for a cheaper liquor store.
Saving $$$ is a "learned discipline"

Anyone with Bank of America? Friday they had some sort of serious problem where anyone with direct deposit didn't see their paycheck post until late morning. I was flippin' out, getting ready to rip someone's head off.

...fucking chritmas gifts. this was the first year i went all out and got something for everyone i felt necessary. I think i have spent like 400$, and thats not including the 5 hours i put into making my mom a bird house.

my paycheck isn't here yet. its two weeks late. which means i have an excuse for all gifts being three weeks late (READ: day after christmas sale!)

I use to deal with them, but they've grown to big and their customer service has got lost in the growth process. Now it might be different in different cities but my CPA has a "contract" out on the last clown he had to deal with there. He's advised most of us to go with Wells Fargo and so far they've been pretty good.
