So last night I found a listing on line for a house near erics work and it had 35 acres with it. So for fun we went and looked at it. NOT a good idea because of course we really really liked it and it is actually pretty affordable for this area:) But it did really help us to decide we really need to look into things and how to go about getting our future in order. Our past is a mess full of huge mounting medical bills and a foreclosure from all of it. So it is a mess. I am an open book so I don't try and hide things and some of it was just plain sh*$ty luck and some was bad choices I am not about to blame all our trouble on life. But it is frustrating and now we find ourselves wanting to start to really build a future to have a place that is home that we feel like home. We are paying way to much in rent where we are. It was a great place at the moment as we didn't have time to go looking and be picky. But we don't want to saddle ourselves with it next year. We want to be able to put money away for a down payment. With our foreclosure it looks like it will be minimum 2 years before we can really look at anything so for now we just need to put our nose to the grindstone. And before even that we have some private loans to some that WE WANT WANT WANT to get paid back. Those are my priority and with me out with my injury and eric out with his appendix for so long that really put a damper on income for those sooner. But I don't care what it takes those got to get paid ASAP. So private loans first, emergency funds, medical bills, and such. We just want to get where we are not worrying all the time. Get our cars fixed from all their problems, have emergency money for things and the animals:), Get enough hay put away for winter, etc. We just want to be responsible and enjoy life not dread what is around the corner.
I just want to share these things to look back in a couple years and hopefully see a huge change in things in our life:)
God will not give you anything you can't handle. I realized I should have said that to you about your kids or not post. But, it applies to all parts of your life.
ReplyDeleteYour issues today will pass. It doesn't matter if you have perfect credit and a million dollars or are the poorest beggar. Life always has issues of one flavor or another. How you choose to deal with the issues is up to you, and it defines your character. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Let God take care of the rest. :)
