I could also use some new brakes for my car. All these things for the most part are a one time fee, but I also have the $130 I own my mom for car insurance and cell phone due next week, the $100 on my credit card (it's really only $25 but I always pay over the required to make my credit score a smidge better looking), plus the weekly gas and whatnot.

I only make $8/hr currently and don't get overtime because my boss is a crook, I've thought about bringing charges up on him....but since he's a millionaire his lawyer would be better than mine.

These are just hard times and my spending habits don't help me at all.
Of all those things - the tattoo appointment is not a necessary expenditure right now. I'd work on the others and maybe re-schedule the tattoo appointment for a later date.

See if you can find a spay and neuter clinic that has more affordable spay and neuter - and please don't declaw! I used to - until one of my cats feet were messed up for life. Declawing is really amputation - they amputate off a digit of their toe. She walked in pain for the rest of her life. My two cats now are not declawed, I got an affordable scratching post and keep it catnipped up and I don't have problems with them. I also clip their claws every two weeks which cuts down on their desire to scratch furniture as well.
