When you have no money, you really start to question all of your previous monetary decisions. When I say NO money, I mean it. None, actually we have a fairly large negative amount. Wish I could simply turn that negative into a positive, we'd be golden then!
I can't remember being this broke in all my adult life.
Did I REALLY need that stupid purse from TJMAXX? Granted, it is adorable, and I love it...but I could sure use that thirty bucks right about now. All those fabulous dinners, sushi platters, bottles of wine. Drinks at the beach, late night pizza, trips to the Keys just to explore.
-sigh. We lived the good life.
Then came pregnancy. Of course we had no medical insurance, so I had to apply for Medicaid. Ohhhhhh whaddya know, we made SIX HUNDRED dollars TOO much a month to qualify. The case worker's suggestion, you ask? Quit my job. After too much time, and careful consideration, that's exactly what I did.
We sat down and planned it out, and figured we'd be okay, but it would be tight. A few bad decisions have left us in the hole. BIG TIME.
We will be fine. It's going to be tough, and I'm not exactly sure how we are going to get there, but we will. We always do. It's just stressful right now, and I needed a way to vent.
