March 25 Money really is EvilDon't you just love the curve balls life throws at you? Here I am letting everyone know that I am getting ready to move and...Wham!!! from out of left field comes a set back. Of course, it's financial. When isn't it with me? Anyway, when I went down to get my tags for the car, I didn't realize that my insurance company hadn't taken their money out of my account yet (they are supposed to take it automatically on the 15th). So, between the tags and the insurance I managed to overdraw my checking account. Now, after fees that is a whopping sum of money. It's going to take all of this pay check and then some to pull my account out of the shitter now. And why does it always seem to happen right when my rent is due? I swear this is getting ridiculous. I don't know what to do now. My rent is due no later than the 5th of each month and I know that I won't have enough to cover it.
So, now we aren't moving because every bit of money I have coming in has to go to get my rent and car payments caught up. There is no way I could afford to even think about moving right now. Why does this always happen to me? I know I am not that smart with my money, but this is getting out of hand. I don't know what to do or who to turn to. Funny thing is, I have some extra money coming to me, but when... I don't know. I still have close to $700 dollars in income tax refund coming to me. Hopefully, I will get that this week. There is surplus money in my financial aid for me, but I have no idea when I will have access to that. Then, sometime in June I guess the government will send me the money they promised everyone as part of the Economic Stimulus program. That should be another $900. I don't now how much longer I can take this financial vacuum I seem to be in.
Sometimes I think it would be great to be part of a two income household. I don't see that happening anytime in the future. Well, anyway...So bottom line. We aren't moving at least not to New Mexico. I am going to try to find a different apartment. I'm tired of paying $800 a month to live in a cave. I know there are places out there that are less expensive and I won't have to get rid of my furry babies.
Till I pop in again. Have a great week!!!
