$7.07, that is how much I was worth at 7:07 am this morning. By 8:00 am, $7.00 of gas later, I was worth .07 cents. Its a good thing payday is tomorrow, or I might be walking to work. How quickly money goes these days. Two kids in college, one in high school, 4 vehicles, 3 dogs, 1cat, a house and lots of bills. Juggle, juggle, juggle its exhausting. Every Friday means a balancing act, because ultimately an unexpected bill is coming. This Friday, its my car. It broke down yesterday in the snowstorm on the way home. By the time Monday gets here, I will already be trying to figure out how I am making it to Friday again. I made finances one of my News Years resolution, because I figure there's got to be a better way. So I am starting by focusing on the good news, which is I have .07 cents, the bad news is I have .07 cents. OK, my goal for next Friday is to have $5.00 and put it in a savings account, I am not sure how I am going to do it, but I am determined to do it. I like to think I was one latte away, but I can't stop drinking something I don't drink in the first place. I think I will try to trim the grocery bill by $5.00, after all that helps me with my other resolution. So, say a pray that my car won't cost an arm and a leg, because I think I would literally have to give them my arm and leg to pay the bill, what does something like that go for these days?
