Day 3 has now come and passed with no gambling. Today was a very easy day as far as urges to gamble. I didn’t have any this evening which is unusual for a Friday night.
That being said. The last 3 days (the day I decided I was done for good, I put my bank account $500 into overdraft, with no overdraft protection…) I’ve been really stressing about how I am going to pay my bills this next month coming up. I don’t get paid very much… Bout $1900 at the end of the month and another compensation check in the middle usually around $650. All my bills aside from rent come out at the beginning of the month… With my overdraft of $500 and trying to pay off my payday loans, it leaves me short on my monthly bills!
I am thinking about contacting the Payday loan company and see if instead of taking the amount we agreed on this month, taking half instead. And then add that onto next months payment instead.
I’ve got 2 small payday loans which I am working on paying off, and I owe my grandmother some money. I am trying to pay her back as quick as possible also, but this is leaving me with little to no money for any emergencies that come up through the month. I got myself into this mess though, and will be getting myself out in the next couple months! Unfortunately this Coronavirus growing concern has put a damper on my plans to get a second job to pay the debt off quicker as my province is pretty close to lock down I suspect. But, after writing this post I am going to be finishing up my resume to hand out anyway. Even if it’s just a couple weeks of working before having to stop, It’s still an extra thousand dollars or so that can pay a good chunk of my debt. Or at the very least… Leave me some money behind after paying what I need to pay.
Once all my debt is paid, I’ll be able to save lots of money. I am going to continue to work a second job at that point, as due to Coronavirus the mortgage rates have dropped by crazy amounts. This means that if I can save a bunch of money in the next 6 months hopefully we can purchase a home!
Anyways… That is sort of about my life after gambling! I am looking forward to continuing to share this journey with you all! Hopefully in 6-12 months time I will be sharing with you all, the news of purchasing my first house!
Thanks for reading!
