car repair bill to the tune of $512!
I'm so frustrated and feel like it's one step forward and two steps back. I feel like I earn a very decent income, but it's just gone so quick!!! And I don't think I'm being a frivolous spender. Have debt from divorce, having lost all the community property I got in attorney's fees, plus some! Now I have to support my kids all by myself! That sounds so whiney--I must stop!
Fortunately, I had enough $$ not to have to put that repair on the CC, but it cleaned me out and put the rest of the month into a tailspin. I just moved, more expense, had to buy some new linens and one new bed and misc. stuff, more expense and two of my kids have birthdays this month, more expense. And Christmas is just around the corner--haven't done anything toward that yet!
Just venting, but I need to find the light at the end of the tunnel. I feel like I'm being stupid because I'm an accountant and should be able to save money, but something always comes up. Plus, I've had to "downsize" my lifestyle after the big "D" and that's hard to get used to. I definitely resent that.
Where's the light?
