Okay in the new place, settling slowly but all okay. I checked out with the landlord and she was impressed with how clean it was! She didn't even look at half of it but told me I would be getting my deposit back. However she has 30 days,
Meanwhile I am waiting on child support, he has been having issues with multiple car accidents and has kept in good communication so after 10 years of being good at this I am okay. He has been through a layoff a few years ago but now is covering kids' insurance which is a savings of $300 a month.
I never filed my taxes, I usually get a big refund (no penalties if you file late and get a refund). I need to find the paperwork and have someone do them for me this year.
And my paycheck at the end of this month will be much higher!! At the point where I should be frugal enough to not need child support to survive (okay but I am getting a couch before I put 100% into savings for emergency and kid education). I get paid once a month at the end of the month.
It is just a tight sqeeeak right now, I know it is not worth panicking over but I am facing some late bills and my savings are almost gone. The facts are that I am expecting about $2,500 in addition to my paycheck and I have about $500 in bills if I total the month (some are due before I will get money). My paycheck will go in on a Friday and I am going on retreat that day! I am thinking that maybe I should start contacting some of my bills and explaining the situation, I have a good payment history with them and have pulled from savings to cover all the moving costs and some of the bills. Maybe there is a way to get taxes done, a refund showing and basically a refund loan? I recall these from years ago but never have done that. That assumes I can find everything quickly.
Okay overall I am so happy about the changes and my future, I just need to figure out the next month.
