Huh? I miss something?
Nay...full time for 2 months and the corresponding 2 pay periods and the ability to dunk 2 house pymts...
seen by some to be a good thing. 
paycheck to paycheck seems to be normal these days. 
Same here, I'm terrible with money. It's like, as soon as I get paid I feel great. "Awesome! I've got money!" So then I spend it by going out to eat a bunch or buying CD's or beer stuff. I need to quit that and save a little each paycheck.
Fortunately, I don't have a stupid credit card. Those things are evil in today's consumerist society. I'd like to get one for traveling though (renting cars, hotels, etc.).
