It has been awhile since I posted anything on the blogger, but it's ok. Sometimes you need to take a step back and try to figure out some things. It's 2024 already, January 8th to be exact. The two-week break from work was amazing but I found myself defeated by life. My 2014 Hyundai has cost me an excess of about $4000 in a few shorts year, most of it being in 2023. I just paid off $1038 loan to have it fixed and then, I would of had to put more into it Tired of sitting around and not being able to explore the world around me was rough, especially having two-weeks off. So, I took the plunge and bought a 2024 Kia Forte. If you think it was an easy decision, you would be wrong and I was literally shaking signing the papers. It is a large expense I did not want on my plate right now but when I started thinking about it, the money I had put into the car was enough for quite a few car payments. I should have listened to my oldest daughter "Mom, you are putting way too much money into the car just get a new one." Boy, was she right and I should have listened.
So now I have this big payment in a time when the interest rates for things are ridiculous thanks to our worthless President, Joe Biden thank you for ruining America. I will continue to pray for our country for this mishap. Back to my payment. It will be rough but my peace of mind now is so worth it. Being able to up and go, it is a blessing. There are things I can cut back on and I already have. My friend Nina also enrolled me into a financial workshop and after my first video lesson, I am hooked and I am grateful. I will make this work and I will be able to afford it, tighten the belt is what I say.
Well, there you have it! Happy Monday back to work for me!
