Catching Up

     I've written in the past about how it's very stressful trying to catch up to bills that seem to accumulate so much. We've been trying to play the catch up game since I lost my job. The amount of stress trying to figure out if your gonna be late this time, or if you even have the money is very new to my coming out into this world. You know.. I should have listened to my mom when I was still living with them about how important it is to make sure you know exactly what you need to pay, how much, etc.


     If I would have listened to the wise words of my mom, then maybe just maybe we wouldn't be in the situation we are so desperately trying to crawl literally out of. I didn't listen as you can tell.. and it's making me realize how I should start doing this efficiently so we aren't pulling our hair out. Both Zach and I are going to sit down tonight and figure out the necessities like food, electricity, a roof over our heads, gas for our car, etc. Not the luxuries such as going out to eat, going to see movies, etc.


     Now I will admit we have a couple of luxuries that we also kind of need, like Internet/cable. Yes we need the Internet more than cable but we bundled both and am with CenturyLink, who actually I believe is much more better than Comcast. We go out to eat sometimes, which I'll admit isn't helping our health out. We are making that vow today to stop out eating out so much. Let's see how this goes!


     I believe that with Persistence and Resistance we will make the right decisions when it comes to our money. It has to be Bills first, then food, then gas for our car. This I believe will help us make better decisions, and cause us more peace rather than stress.
