Thanks for the comment. I know it’s a marathon and not a sprint, but that’s always been a big problem for me. Very impatient if I’m honest. Always looking for a quicker way, or a corner to cut. I know I just need to stay on this path and things will work out. But my wages went in today and I like to transfer some to my savings. I’ve got bills and rent and a bunch of other stuff going out this week though, so I can’t do it. It makes me edgy because I’ve not been able to add to my savings.
My parents bungalow has been getting plenty of attention from potential buyers. An offer was put in today which was 10k under asking price which was flat turned down. But it’s looking increasingly likely that it won’t be too long until my parents move back into their house and put me in an awkward position. Do I stay with them while I quietly save further. Or do I take my girlfriends offer and move in with her and help pay her way. I honestly don’t know what to do and it worries me still.
So far so good on the gambling front. Not really been tempted at all. I think it probably helps that I’ve not been giving the big gamblers the chance to stop after hours. I’ve been working more at work recently too as the boss hasn’t been well. I guess the extra income helps. He needs a new hip too and although it would mean he’d probably have to miss around 4 months of work, I’d be tempted to work every day to claw back my savings. I’m pretty sure my girlfriend wouldn’t be pleased about that though.
On that front, things are getting a bit better I think. A lot of her unhappiness stems from her own job. In a nutshell, she hates it. She’s working all hours to compensate for the shit staff she’s in charge of. All we need is a bit of time off together. Easier said than done though of course.
Anyway, I’ve not much else to say right now. Just wanted to check in. Keep them days going!
Take it easy everyone. Stay strong.
