forced to take a 2nd Job

From the eyes of a newbie's 2nd job!

     Hooray for me I found a night job, and boy do I need it! I finish my training today at a restaurant I started working at. My time now will be extremely limited, the coffee bill might go up, but monthly bills will not be a worry anymore, hopefully...
     Many young people these days have a couple of jobs which is a shame to spread yourself so thin. I met a girl who is a mother, goes to college full time, and works at the restaurant during the night to scrape by. How can such a hard working individual be so overwhelmed. One reason is...fees! I am so sick of all of these "hidden fees" it makes me sick. 
     To get my Indiana driver's license I need $$ for a driving record, then I need $$ for a processing fee, and the $$ for the actual drivers license.
     To work at the restaurant I am required to get a liquor license, which I have to get a money order for $$$ but money orders cost $ then I have to take a class that costs $$. 
     If I want cash out of an ATM it is $ if I want any legal paper it is $$, if I want help filing taxes because it is so confusing it is $. 
     My apartment complex charges me for water $, trash pick up $, the regular electric, energy, gas...$$$$ a pet fee $$ a parking fee for winter coverage $$ a convenience fee $$ for their facilities, they even charge me $$$$ for using my debit card to pay them! 
     I have been tracking my fees for the last few months, and trying to find ways around them, legally of course...
     It doesn't help that my checks have 30% of them taken out right off the bat for all the other fees I am charged. 

Holy caboodles, fees are everywhere and I am sure they will only get worse. Ok I am done complaining about all the money I have to give to everyone else, I feel better now.
