I kinda sorta feel like my finances are under control, which is an immense relief. Last summer things were looking so grim that I had a nightmare about money, which I can't recall having done before. With big help from friends, I made some un-fun changes of direction. Now, I have enough coming in.
Just got another big help from a friend -- I still owe money to two people, one of them got a windfall, and she choose to share some of it with me by forgiving my loan. She says I squeaked. Her name is no secret but I hate to create additional links for people, so I will just say for now that my next door neighbor is wonderful. <3 <3
I started being able to pay back on debts the first of this year. Damn, did that feel good! I'm too much a numbers person to rest easy with negative cash flow. Now, I'm working mildly hard for peanuts per hour, but I can rationally envision a roof over my head in the future.
Next, I want a roof with solar collectors and maybe a wind turbine!
