“Hanging on by a thread”
What Actually Happened
this is all i have to my name as of right now (April 29th 2:10 pm 2026). I get paid at midnight tonight. Thought the picture was funny.
Why am i hanging on by a thread you may ask…1. Bought new tires for my car. 2. the second i bought the tires my phone took a 💩 3. Ma needed a new water heater ( all of it wasn’t covered by insurance ). 4. Gas is now $5 a gallon near me and i drive about 80 miles per day for work. All in all its just been a rough 2 weeks but we made it 🙏🏼
