Grocery shopping

Saving all my money from work early pay for my mortgage due next week and I have to pull money from my retirement account to make up the shortage. Those doctor payments and A/C repair are really hurting me. With roommate gone my water bill went down $20 and saved money on food, but he is back with his girlfriend. He said on the way to the grocery store he shouldn't have quit his job or moved out into his friend's place. Friend kept promising to give him money then never gave it. He spent his days promising not to get drunk and then get drunk to flirt with his girlfriend. They did food delivery in his car and friend kept all the money earned. He never took him to his 2 interviews so he didn't get the job. He is trying to improve his life and sensed his friend was just using him for companionship since his wife broke his heart. He never received a phone call or even rejection email from the grocery store he interviewed at last Friday. Manager brought up him having a lot of jobs. I had to explain that makes him look flaky. Managers don't want to invest time and money to train him just to have him quit in 3 weeks. He replied he is learning that the hard way. I told him if I had his friend's money I would be doing something with my life instead of sitting onmy tushy drinking beer. I would open a bed and breakfast and catering business. I would buy a lake house and rent it out as an Air B-n-B when I am not there. I would employ people giving people a chance to learn skills and pay bills. I would donate to animals shelters and food pantries to make the world a better place. I heard of one local animal shelter closing from lack of funds and volunteers. I hope they funraised the $20,000 credit card bill they had. I would have loved to hand over the funds they need to pay their credit card bill but God insists I live in poverty not able to pay my mortgage without hurting my retirement fund.

At the grocery I had $14 to spend from tips. Helped with guest with their luggage cause driver went home early from boredom and people give me tips just for ringing up gift shop purchses. Forced into shuttle duty, but had no rides requested so no tips there. I bought some generic pop tarts, crackers, French bread loaf from the bakery, peanut butter, and margarine. Peanut butter and margarine I will use to make oatmeal cookies and cereal bars. I got flour, sugar, vegetable oil, and spices. Better use it to make food cause I have no more money for groceries until I get my mortgage paid. Hopefully next week I can get all the things on my grocery list.
