Well, everyone we went through every single bill I have last night.  The results.......not as bad as I thought it would be.  I just have to learn how to budget.  We will sit down every Tuesday after I get my check and I will write out the checks.  The alcoholic mind of mine thought I some how had more bills that money.  LOL  After I learn, I am going to have the kids learn too.  I was never taught how do actually "handle" money.  By the Grace of God today I am not fearful of money.  Trust in God; asked for help and I have received it.  What a wonderful feeling.

Thanks,

Susan


I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL DAY.  I am off to On the Waterfront to work the ticket booth for Church.  We are selling tickets for food and drinks.  Should be interesting.  I will catch up with everyone tonight.

Hi Susan,

Money Fears, health fears, any ole fear seems to leave when we put them in black and white writing.....

Happy you have a good handle on this, and it sounds like it was not an easy task....

Kudos to you dear,

I have found that whatever problems I am facing once I bring them out in the open and really look at them they are not nearly as difficult to resolve as I had originally thought.   Keep up the good work, one day at a time!!!

My former wife beat me into the ground with all our bills and just made me feel like it was all my fault we got to that point.

Now separated I look at these bills and realize they aren't as bad as the drama that was dumped on me, but there still is some fear with it.

I pay what I know and have some money for emergencies... but I always feel like I am forgetting something...

That feeling of forgetting something is what gets to me.  Dan said I was OK and I was good for a couple of days.  Then yesterday I felt so uneasy.  I did get to a Noon meeting yesterday, I guess it progress that I was able to be honest with him about the money situation and with everything that is going on with me.  It will just take time I suppose.
