I have been super busy trying to survive my day to day life and I didn't know that you were without power and on the brink of despair! Know that I think you are the bomb diggity and that I am sending lot of love and positive energy your way. I am hoping that once the car problem gets fixed and the power comes back on that things will look brighter:)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380362348365415129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-52511377577398913372011-11-03T12:53:13.676-04:002011-11-03T12:53:13.676-04:00Batten down the hatches and just keep on going.

There has to be enough for regular monthly expenses plus irregular expenses plus minimum debt payments plus some savings/investing. If there simply isn't enough for everything, then you must make some hard decisions. You must cut expenses, increase income, or consider bankruptcy. Otherwise, you will not make the progress you want to make. <br /><br />Best of luck to you!Petunia 100https://www.blogger.com/profile/11419094642410711334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-7655168570073767732011-11-03T08:57:09.628-04:002011-11-03T08:57:09.628-04:00And I find it ironic that when I had to enter the ...And I find it ironic that when I had to enter the little word to post my last comment, the word that came up was "sucks". :-)Sasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348650157037720366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-15713964562129638892011-11-03T08:55:52.724-04:002011-11-03T08:55:52.724-04:00Hugs!

And that's ok. Things reach this point where they all just plain suck and you're tired and cold and very much in the mood to roll under a rock. There are still 8 weeks left before the year ends, so you can't just drop it all. <br /><br />You are facing a LOT of challenges all at once. But they wont kill you, so the only other alternative is that they will make you stronger. Take a break, recharge and press on.<br /><br />If you have no idea, or don't want to have any idea about your budget, then go back to the bare basics; work with cash only, treat savings as an expense, keep track of your bills. Best of luck!
