how do you make ends meet?

[Justtristo]

I have worked various paid jobs, packing in factories, cleaning, collecting trolleys in shopping centres, washing up dishes in restaurants combined with periods of unemployment and university* study. I do have an Accounting undergraduate degree, however it is very hard to get your foot in the door in the Accounting industry. At the moment, I am working evenings washing up dishes at a local Hungry Jacks (Burger King) restaurant.

Because of the jobs I have done in the past, I just never been in a position to have a lot of money. A lot of the time since I completed high school in 2001, I have been living from pay day to pay day essentially.
