Survivor Mode

Submitted by Frugal Dad on January 14, 2008 - 20:48.

We've had to go into survivor mode a few times. I remember once buying a hot dog at a Chevron food store because my gas card was the only thing that would work, and the only food in the house was breakfast food for the kids. I was on the road and didn't have a dime to my name. I stopped in a Chevron store and got a hot dog and a small water and paid with my gas card. It was, for me, the pinnacle moment that put me on the path to get right, financially.
