Question:“On the days before payday”
On the days before payday
The days before payday are not poverty. They are a gap. The gap arrives at the same place every month, and what arrives at the same place can be prepared for.
Divide what is left by the days that are left and fix one day’s share. Choose meals inside that share, and on the next payday set aside those few days first.
