My savings are dwindling

June 23rd, 2008 at 11:58 pm

I just had to take some savings out to pay my VISA. Not good. I am feeling very overwhelmed. I think I have to have a heart to heart talk with the kids somehow.
Things are just rough. I had a friend ask if me and my dd wanted to see Jersey Boys. $45 a ticket so that would be at least $90 plus they are eating out beforehand. $50??? I said the date did not work and quickly deleted the email so my dd would not see it. I just do not know how some folks do it! Whats worse is my ex and his wife are going this week to see it. Ugh! This friend and my other friend have their dd's in dance camp this week at $400. I am so glad I passed on that! I mean today at wal mart after I grocery shopped I put three things back. You have to.

My girls are working on the garage sale.
The date for the sale is July 3rd. I have already placed an ad in the paper for that week.
SO far we are getting rid of all things BARBIE. The girls rarely if ever play with them. So my one dd is organizing all the little parts and pieces. So the garage sale train has left the station.

My real estate taxes are due in three weeks. For sure in a few years I will have to sell my house. There is no way around it. Times are hard. I guess I have to face it one day at a time. Doing what I can and not grow weary in being frugal.

    You seem like a great mom ... with great kids around you !! :-) These things cannot be bought...

    Keep your chin up... try visualising a future when you are comfortably well-off financially and it might just come true !! :-)

    I understand the feeling of being financially overwhelmed. Just keep at it and things will work out. Good luck.

    I think many many people are overwhelmed and I am not feeling so alone in this "feeling".
