Debt & Depression: The Cycle Continues
I’ve come to realize, lately, that the maddening cycle of debt and depression starts and stops right here. With me.
This blinding epiphony comes in the wake of laying down and being trampled again by the circumstances otherwise known as life. After having given up, when even a tiny fraction of the plan goes to shit.
What does this mean? It means for the past 3 months:
-Checking account is unbalanced
-Mortgage payment is late
-Struggling to catch up on basic recurring bills (electric, heating oil, property taxes, etc.)
-Remaining debt remains. Untouched for the moment.
I am the world’s leading authority on best practices of procrastination. Major, MAJOR flaw. So, what I write here, for anyone in the world to see, is how NOT to be successful and what it’s like to be strangled by your own gray matter.
Do NOT try this at home.
As always, you rock my world. Working on the color scheme. Trying to get it back to the original. Hopefully I can do it!! It’s too freakin’ bright!
Thanks, about the hole digging. I’m a tryin’. Seems like I get myself out of one hole and another one springs forth. Damnable holes!
Thanks again!
@ Paul, thank you for the understanding! I use Quicken, and have all manner of things calendarized and organized. Yet, when the cash doesn’t come in then everything must shuffle, then I get discouraged and then it goes to pooh
Glad you paid a visit! Xo
@JesseTheCat On this blog, you get paid per unique visits, and don’t get any google revenue. They have affiliate programs for products and services though that you can put in your blog (in sidebars and in posts). The colors got tuned down from what they were. It was blindingly bright and very green before I changed it. I think I got it back to the original settings XOXOX
I’ve never had the cash for the ‘finer’ things, so that kind of just goes by the wayside. It’s when you can’t pay 4 the basic things then it brings me down alot!
I adore you, beautiful Jesse. XOXOX
