<prompt> Human: I know the title sounds cliche. Im currently attending college half time, working full-time, cleaning houses bi-weekly, and bartending monthly. I have a three year old son and I just bought a house because mortgage is cheaper than rent and I had to buy a car because my last vehicle had 260,000 miles on it and a knock in the engine. I Need to figure out a way to make a few extra dollars on top of everything else I do because I was just picked up for a travel study trip for a week next year. My bills always seem like theyre below my means and then I get slammed with some crazy ridiculous bill because I make ridiculous mistakes. Someone please help.I wanted to say thank you everyone for all of the wonderful comments you guys have left me. I really really appreciate the advice... 3  <response>: Just because you were accepted into a travel-study trip doesnt mean you have to go...Also, what kind of crazy ridiculous bills are you encountering? Is it because youre just not planning efficiently and not saving up for regular maintenance things like new car tires or a quarterly water bill?
