I’m so tired of stressing out over money. I think the main reason I want to win the lottery is not to be able to buy whatever I want, but rather not have to worry about having money when I need it. My current cause of stress is my checking account. A couple of weeks ago, I had gotten together with a customer service rep, and he told me he would make some changes to my account to improve the way it works. As of Friday, not only did he not make it better, he actually made it worse. In the end, I got caught with some fees that I wasn’t expecting, and I have checks still out that haven’t been cashed yet. So now, I’m stressing out about those checks and about my checking account and how it is setup. At the moment, I’m still living paycheck-to-paycheck, so those fees make a real difference in my bottom line. Of course, they also upset my efforts to get myself back to even, so I can start taking on my debt problems.
And that’s the most important thing right now. I’ve got to get back to the point where I’m caught up on all my immediately due money responsibilities. Only then will I be able to start attacking my debt in any organized, meaningful way. I’ve started to become more organized, which is one of my new year’s resolutions, but I still have a ways to go in that respect. Of course, once I start attacking debt and see it start disappearing, then my stress levels will start to come down. I’m sure that once the debt is completely gone, then my stress will be at an all-time low! I can’t wait to have that feeling.
I know there’s not a lot of, or any, information in this post, but I wanted to vent a little.
But I know, that all I need to do is….
Keep Steppin’
