I'm having a rough day....(I NEED A HUG, PIXIE DUST, OR SOMETHING)

[Tiggerlover91]

Hi everyone. Have you ever just got out of bed and wondered why. It all really started for me last night when I realized how short DH and I were on rent and all the other bills coming up...car insurance $170(still behind from last month), $80 motorcycle insurance, $170 to my debt consolidator....ALL DUE BEFORE THE 15TH OF THIS MONTH!!
Well DH asked me how much money was in the Disney jar and I knew where it was going from there. Here's the thing....all last night I was thinking to myself the same thing. Well, I emptied out my Disney jar of $110 to pay rent...and we were still $50 short!!!!!!!!! Having the kind roommate that we do, she offered to pay it for us, she already paid her half. I'm just really sad and upset. It doesn't help that I have "something else going on this month". All the ladies know what I'm talking about. Forgive me if I offended anyone with that last comment. It just intensifies what I feel and right now I feel POOPY!!!
DH's motorcycle isn't working and I have to drive him back and forth to work....76 miles daily!! I really don't want to put that on my car again. We need to find him a job closer in town and we need to do it soon. Repairs on his bike will cost over $400 because of the 5 hours of labor involved!!!!!!!! I asked him to ask some friends who have motorcycle knowledge to fix it for him, but he's concerned he'll invalidate his warranty if he does. Understood, but it still bugs me!!!!
I know that Someone else has it all under control, but I sure do feel BLAH about it all. I just don't get it. I know I'm not supposed to figure it out, I'm just supposed to let it go, but it's really hard for me to do right now.
Oh well, I'm just going to lye back down and watch TV. What else can I do? I can't make the money appear and I'm not doing myself any good by worrying about it.
I just wanted to talk to someone about it, sometimes if I get it out, it helps me get over it quicker.
Talk to ya soon,

Denise


OH YEAH...I almost forgot....I'VE CANCELLED MY DISNEY TRIP IN MAY!! I just don't see how it's going to happen

Tigger, that color you are using is hard for me to read. Could you do me a favor and change it to some other color? I'm sorry.

 

[DixieDreamer]

I'm sorry Tigger that you are having financial difficulties and lots of other "annoyances" in your life right now. I sincerely hope that you breathe through these problems and find solutions that navigate you successfully through the current "turbulent waters". Financial worries are the number one cause of marital difficulties and really put a strain on everyone.

Hugs.

Thanks Tigger. I was able to read it this time, and you sound like you are in a bad situation. I wish I knew of something that would help.
But here's a {{{hug}}}, and a truck load of pixie dust. I hope things get better for you soon.

serena, if you highlight the text, sometimes it is easier to read...

tiggerlover--i am so sorry! I am sorta in your same position too--i drive Arthur to and from school and work everyday, though we live a bit closer...we struggled to pay rent last month and this month, and i had to cancel my ressie for YC for our honeymoon because I needed to pay another bill off (and its finally gone, thank goodness!) Im having a hard time finding a job, we are both full time students, and life is pretty hectic here too...just take each day at a time, and realize that times may be tough, and they could possibly get worse...but your DH will be there with you just the same...thinking about that helps me focus and get going again, and i hope it helps you too..nothing can take away your love for each other and sometimes it is all you have to help you cope through the day. goodluck!

Life is really hard sometimes. A {{{hug}}} for you.

Realize that WDW has been there for 30 years, and well, it will be there for a very very long time..

It is better that you can get set financially first, it truly is!

Can your DH get a job closer? He works retail, right? Can he get transferred to another store, or go into another retail establishment? (ie Best Buy, or Circuit City, etc...)


Realize that sometimes you have to pay the bills. We have been in holes, horrible terrible financial holes, that 5 (yes 5 years) later we are still digging out.

{{{Hugs}}} and pixie dust, Denise. Sounds like you've been having a rough time of it lately. Hope your love and faith helps get you over this hurdle.

Cancelling your Disney trip seems like it was the best thing for you right now, however hard as it was to do. You can always book another trip after you get back in a better place financially. Till then you can dream. (And DIS )

More {{{hugs}}}... hang in there!

 

[olena]

Oh no.....


*HUGS* & PD for you!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Big {{hugs}} for you, Denise. Keep on track, both of you keep working, spend within your means. Your postponing your WDW trip is a great first step, not the best place to be if you have tight finances. My best wishes, Denise, and prayers are with you both. You WILL get on track.

Hugs,

Dan

You've weathered other storms - you'll weather this one too. Hang in there!

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} and good luck with your finances!

 

[Krisu]

I'm sure most DIS'ers have been in this kind of bind before. Yes it keeps you up at night but please remember something I once heard "It's not a problem if money can fix it" Just thank your lucky stars it's something that will pass in time.

 

[cotye]

Sorry to hear about the troubles you're having. My good thoughts for you.

 

[JasonLyons]

hang in there and dont let go
