I’m not getting booted out of my apartment or anything, but I was living paycheck to paycheck already when I used up the little cushion I had paying for a root canal. Getting that paid down about half over, I had about $1K in unexpected car repairs come up a couple of weeks ago. And my creadit card minimum payments have recently gone up. So, I’m trying to pay severalthings down and there’s just no wiggle room right now.
I make okay money, and I’m single with no kids, but I’ve put myself in a lot of debt and this is the moment I’ve brought myself to (no excuses here). So, I’m just trying to dig myself out. I’m hoping that by thinking of it as a goal, and an opportunity to change my relationship to spending and to money in general, I can feel more positive about it instead of just beating myself up.
