Well what a turn of events at work. So far I have managed to
start getting caught up on my credit card. Then yesterday my boss at work asked
me if I would be interested in a job offer that would pay more and have more
hours as a receptionist. LOL well ya!!!. Where in the world do you find a boss
that helps you to find better working conditions for their employees? That is
almost unheard of. He said he would let me know in a couple of weeks.
I am loving keeping track on how I am handling my money and
managing to pay money to everyone that I need to pay. I am getting ahead. It
feels really good to have a handle on my money finally. I’m still on the bottom
of the hill, but I’m climbing it one step at a time. I have also been working
on staying home a lot for the past two weeks. This has been a challenge since I
miss going to my favorite places. It has been interesting how I have been
feeling restricted because of my money issues. But by doing what I needed to
do, to get where I wanted to be, I am seeing how it is turning out for the
best.
I was going to be short about $30 for my rent, and I didn’t
want to ask my co-workers or my boss for a loan so I gave in and went to a Cash
Store. I borrowed $120 which will cost me $30 so I have to pay back $150. All I
needed was $50 to carry me over to my next paycheck. So I put $30 with my rent
money, I put $70 in an envelop to repay the Cash Store. I will take $80 off my
paycheck to complete the payment. Then if I ever need money in the future, I
can count on them to lend me the money if I need it. I’m hoping I won’t. But
when you have a good record with them it’s a great way to get money whenever
you do need some.
Once I get caught up on my credit card, I won’t have to
worry about borrowing money from the Cash Store. Oh ya I forgot, I have decided
to start buying gift cards from the gas station where I work now to use for gas
only. This way I can’t use it other then where I work. Also I plan to buy gift
cards for myself so when I want to splurge on something, it won’t come out of
my allowance. I can buy a $25 Mastercard gift card each paycheck. It adds up
after awhile and they are good for a couple of years.
By doing this it creates a small sense of security and a use for where and what I can do with the money I earn.
