by the wait, I also realize that it's out of my control and it's probably a good thing. The current total of money spent on this adventure is over $9000, not including gas for the numerous trips to the big city for classes and meetings. That stretched my savings to almost nothing and I still have my regular life to pay for...
- like putting a window in my bedroom so if my kitchen/laundry room catches on fire I can actually escape without jumping through the flames;
- new tires for my car;
- the shockingly expensive 40,000 mile check on my car, which I now avoid driving so that I can put it off as long as possible, but will definitely be needed in June because of the trip required to the other side of the state.
- college courses required to keep my job
- dance team camp (which would probably be reimbursed, but takes forever)
- summer family trips (MOTG)
- last credit card to pay off
Added all up, it means I'm going to be a bit broke for awhile. And very slow in savings. Savings that I will need to pay new fees, airline tickets and the obligatory shopping, as well as staying home for a short time. Now, if I can just figure out how to keep my logical mind in the forefront.
1 Talk To Me!:
It is always the finances that scare the hell out of me. I'm 7K in the hole on one credit card (agency fees only) and it's freaking me out... like, HOW long will it take to pay that off, you know?? Eek. And then there's the mortgage, my faucet in the master BR, the electric bill, the unexpected crap that pops up incessantly...
I find myself wondering, "How will I pay for diapers much less daycare???"
