I must be crazy! Due to financial restraints, I have not yet finished my Christmas shopping, and Christmas is five days away. I have to go shopping Friday when I get off of work because that will be my last paycheck before the big day. The stores are going to be so busy I am actually dreading having to go.
I would have been done weeks ago if I had more money, but there just never seems to be much left after I pay bills every week. I know there are ways I could have gotten some cash, like taking advantage of a Utah cash advance place, but I want to do this all on my own without having to add more bills to my already full months. I've used cash advance places in the past and they have been lifesavers. Especially when en unexpected expense pops up.
But, right now, I can't take on another bill. My plate is full enough. My kids will get what I can afford to get them and nothing more. I have learned this past year that living within my means is boring, but necessary. I've spent too many years not being able to pay rent each month and having our cable turned off. It's been ten months (WOW!) since my husband left, and I am doing a great job on my own.
And it feels so good!
