Bad: Yesterday at work we had a meeting. For the next two weeks, we’re only working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Three days a week with no pay for Monday or Friday. I don’t have a problem having four day weekends two weeks in a row, but I barely make enough when I get 40 hours in.
Worse: My corrected doctor’s bill came in the mail today. There goes another $135 I don’t have.
Worse yet: The clutch in my car has been gradually degenerating, and last night it was worse than ever before. I took it in this morning to find out the clutch needs replacing and that it’s going to cost me $950-$1000 to fix, and that if I don’t fix it now the clutch will completely wear down and my car won’t be going anywhere fast. Or slow…
Good: I saw an ad on craigslist for a job that is significantly closer and pays significantly more than my current job that I am highly qualified for. I applied this morning. God be praised!
Better: My doctor’s bill came a while ago and was over $800. I called the insurance company and the hospital, and there was a mistake on my insurance card and today I got the corrected bill, which turned out to be over 600 dollars less! God be praised!
Best: There’s nothing I hate more than asking my parents for money, and asking them for $1000 was probably the most difficult thing I have ever had to do. They agreed after I swore to stick to a strict repayment plan, and if they hadn’t I would’ve had to get new car or another high balance, high interest credit card to pay it off with. Without my parents I’d be homeless, jobless, penniless, and without a car. Praise God for family. Amen?
