moving while broke
ok what i have resolved to do is to write at least one journal entry a day. i need to start journaling if for nothing else than to keep track of all of the many things that i want to do/that i plan to do/that i think of doing.
here is today's thought.
i am kindof broke. my account was overdrawn so i had to switch money from my ing account. i drove by and took a look at the house on taylor street and i really like it. i want that house. there i have said it. now i have to talk to my egun and get them to get on board with me. i hope the guy can hold it until the end of april so we can move then. i doubt i will be able to move in any earlier than that. but back to being broke, then i had to pay my sprint bill so now my account is down to 300. it was at about 1100. so can you see why i am broke.
but i really do need to move. here are the reasons why.
1. we need the space. i have too much stuff. darrell has too much stuff. ayo is gaining ground. a one bedroom apartment is not big enough for all of us
2. i deserve more for my money. come on a one bedroom apartment for $650. i could get a whole house for that amount. i remember when i paid $700 for a two bedroom. i need more for the money that i kick out.
3. it is in my long term plan towards buying my own home. i only planned on being in this apartment for 2 years. well guess what. its been two years. time for me to move on to the next phase of the plan which is to first rent a home. the better to understand all that owning a home entails, and then applying for a mortgage and owning for my own home.
4. my landlord is becoming a slum lord. i am tired of all the repairs that need to be done. the bathroom sink takes forever to drain. there is a major leak in the basement. there is mold and mildew growing down there. i only have about 3 minutes of hot water. when there was a leak in the living room, the ceiling panels were never replaced so that looks lovely. there is still fallen plaster on the carpet in the living room courtesy of the leaky ceiling. i cant control the heat in the apartment. the windows are drafty. need i go on?
5. my landlord is a bitch. i dont trust her ass anymore. she doesnt answer my calls or emails anymore. i have to send her a text message and hope that she responds. i thought she was my friend but apparently that changed when i got pregnant.
6. i need a change of scenary. i like the neighborhood but i want to live on a smaller street with less traffic.
7. my bf needs to be on the lease. he is living with me and he needs to sign on the dotted line just like i do.
