Every day is a new day Lizbeth. A new chance .Another bite at the proverbial.cherry.
I’m hell bent on getting my Lump Sum back that I threw away last March. Yesterday marked my 8th instalment. It’s in 4 figures now In twenty two more months it will be fully restored.
I’m also taking a mini legal challenge about an unrelated issue. It’s a bit of a gamble but if I don’t challenge this particular issue it will haunt me or God forbid, even drive me back to the wrong places. Better to face things head on. I have a few other issues that need addressment too. Weight, health, etc . I will draw up a hit list.
Apart from not spending on your Credit Card or gambling money, Lizbeth I would recommend that you set up a Savings Account if you haven’t already got one.Seeing savings build , no matter how small the amount , gives us great satisfaction and hope. Not just for the financial aspect but mainly to prove to ourselves that we are not slaves to materialism or consumerism and that we can replace destructive actions with constructive ones. I feel the benefit already. I truly believe we “cannot serve God and Money”. As CGs we made a god out of money. Discipline is another huge issue with me. I feel I need to tighten the reins so I hear you when you talk about overspending. t can so easily get out of control. Let’s face it when we get older our earning power is reduced so we need to “feather our nest”. I intend living a more frugal life. For many reasons, I feel it will benefit every CG to do that.
Sorry for hogging your thread Lizbeth. I’m on a roll!
