13 Signs It's The Day Before Payday

Payday: always one day too late. It's a constant struggle to make those hard-earned dollars last. Tired of skipping meals to survive those final 24 hours? ING DIRECT's Orange Everyday account can help your salary go further.

Consider the Terms and Conditions. Issued by ING Bank (Australia) Limited.

1. It may be Saturday night, but these are your only plans:

2. You have a list of everybody who's borrowed $1 from you, and you're not afraid to cash in.

3. You're going to meet your cousin for dinner. Not because you want to see your cousin, but because your cousin is a married accountant, and she will pay.

4. This is what your toothpaste looks like:

5. You're walking to work! And home! Because driving and taking the bus costs MONEY!

6. You'll settle for your office instant coffee today.

7. You're having Thai food for dinner! AKA: last night's leftovers.

8. You legitimately start thinking of going to the gym... only because you've run out of shampoo in your own shower.

9. You're going to bed early to escape the devastation of skipping a dinner you can't afford.

10. Did somebody say paid medical trial?

11. You dump the contents of your piggy bank on the counter of your corner store and cross your fingers. Buying Weet-Bix has never been this suspenseful.

12. You're waiting for everybody to leave the office so you can eat whatever they left in the fridge.

13. Vegemite, butter and toast. Enough said.
