Gotta vent it out.

Stress...


I am SO stressed out. Financially I am tapped. I mean how much worse can things get? (OOPS...one shouldn't say that....)

We have switched vehicles, combined houses, trimmed and skimped and saved, and STILL cannot make all the payments. This stupid economy and stupid recession is making my life miserable!! Or is it me? As a fiscally responsible woman I detest to think that possibly this is my fault. For not accounting for sudden loss of income.

I don't know,

Maybe it IS my fault. But I cannot change it. I didn't save for emergencies and NOW we have 1/4 of the income we used to have. No two ways about it. There is no way we are getting any more money. We have skimmed out lifestyle down to the nub.


And still the ends don't meet.

Are we the only ones? All of my friends seem to be doing fine. All of my family seem to be doing fine. Are they deluding themselves? Or is this really just our deal??


WTF!


Sheesh.

     There's an old, old joke: "They used to call people that lived from paycheck to paycheck shiftless and irresponsible. Now they are considered good money managers."
     Another old joke: I had a computer consulting/support business up in the pacific northwest. Not fancy, but doing well. Along came Al Gore (the guy that invented the internet) and the save the spotted owl crowd. Within 6 months of the administrations actions I went from 6 major customers to 1. All my majors were mills and plywood plants. Scratch one business. Was it my fault? I guess it depends on your point of view.
     But why lay blame at all? Serves no purpose other than to spin onself up. It always boils to making do and trying to keep a little corner of peace and sanity in a noisy, crazy world.

Tke care,
Dennis
OBTW - you can plan the trip - but there are no guarantees where you'll end up...

Our needs will always be met.
One thing I do know about money, or lack of, is that worrying doesn't suddenly make money appear, just makes me feel bad...so I don't worry ...about money!!!

I worry more about being lonely but am working on this. (my needs will be met)

Have a wonderful weekend!
Peace
