It was that time of the month again. Time to collect the scrapings of money she worked tooth and nail for day after day. It seemed cruel in a way that she has to gather her hard earned dollar to pay all the bills on her list. Thirty dollars there, fifty there, one hundred there, three hundred here, and other small amounts for things she didn't necessarily need, but it made this life of hers worth living. The small bills on her list were her only solace.
With a sigh and heavy heart she 'x'ed off each bill off her list as she removed the money from her account balance. A raid is what it seemed. "The huns have invaded!" She joked to herself. The smile and inner laughter didn't last long when all the bills on her list were 'x'ed off.
It was done.
Not much left to her name. The rest would be spent on gas and other daily life things. Such is the life of middle class citizen.
