Probably time to update this blog lol....
So much is going through my head the last couple days. Up until my bfs new employment Ive been anxious and unaware of how I was to bring myself above water with the bills and the collections ughhhhhhhh
This has been the toughest year financially of my life. Im learning more now than ever, how careful you have to be with your money to keep from fucking your life up. Apart from being entirely fucked over by my cell phone AND my cable company, I made some really stupid mistakes.
When I lost my job last year I had an account with another bank which when I got laid off, I managed to plunge into a $500 over draft. After being unemployed for 2 months the idea of putting money into my account that would suck it all back was not good for me at the time, so I opened another account with a different bank. I let that overdrawn account sit until they turned it into a loan with a 21% interest rate. I got notice today that if i didnt pay $500 by the end of the month I would be looking at $700 + the interest rate fees until it was paid off.
Yesterday I finally felt like I knew when my bills could be paid and I would have things on track and then I hear this. Needless to say , I was upset.
I have no resources, my father is ill and my mother is struggling to get them by alone. And really thats all I have
I decided to man up and ask my boss for a $500 advance and he said "consider it done!"
Honestly, my boss is kind of a jerk, but he is helping me out more than anyone I know could ave done. He also GAVE me a laptop ( not a brand new one but still!)
I am soo happy and Im very grateful. I have learned so many lessons financially and I cant wait for things to pick up.
As well, July first my bf and I have my apartment to ourselves!!!! My brother and his girlfriend have been living with me in my 2 bedroom apartment for 3 years and FINALLLy I get some privacy. They are only moving 2 floors down which is good because we have some pretty awesome party times.
It isnt over yet, but my problems are starting to dwindle away...
I saw one sentence recently that has run through my head constantly over the last little while
"This too shall pass"
It's true. Youll be seeing a smilier Tenaciouss boys and girls
