Savings Account in Sight

OK it's a bit difficult but I can see my savings account coming into sight once again. I only need $50 to reopen the account. I'm checking to see what the monthly expenses are now and just how much I would need to keep in it to cover the bills for two and three months at a time without having to worry if I was working enough. There are some items that would have to be stocked up on first. The goal is to reopen savings while making much needed repairs to be able to take a few days off a week for various household projects.

A new front door is in the works yet again. This time it'll be the one I actually want it to be. I think that I can make the one here work a little bit longer until I can come up with the money for the new one. I have to go out and price the new one and the delivery of it, and that is a must since the only thing here is a car.

There is the small matter of the loan on the car and the fact that the clutch on the truck is not functioning properly at the moment. That is added worry right now. The good news is that the weekend was pleasant enough to open the windows and leave the air off. That's going to be a big help at keeping the light bill down below an overage amount this year.

The cheapest gas in town (according to the site I check before going to buy gas) is currently $3.71 a gallon. The cheapest that I will come in contact with without going out of the way is $3.73 a gallon. The highest gas is $3.89 a gallon. Summer is not looking promising for me to get shorty to therapy five days a week. I don't know how I did it with $4 a gallon gas last year.

Well, I'll worry about gas prices later. I need to go make yet another spreadsheet and hope I don't mess up anything in this one.

Dim at the Moment

My financial future would look rather dim at the moment considering I do not have a computer at home which means my ability to work is limited. I have a well that is in need of repair or replacement not sure yet. It has been touchy for months and now it is either coming apart or it pumps up sand. We should know by this afternoon although at the moment it is not pumping. My main goal at the moment is to have running water and get back to work on a regular basis. This two hours here and there at the local library is not cutting it in the least. By the time I get what I need my session is over. I am typing as fast as I can and it is not fast enough.

My television set went to the pawnshop this week so my four year old could go to the local Peanut Festival on special citizens day and be a typical kid for a few hours. It is the little things like that which bother me the most. She should not be deprived because we are broke. I need to get back to work it has been two weeks since my computer tore up and no one seems to understand that without it I am unemployed and may not make it through the month.

I did set some goals however. I need $50 to reopen my savings account and I also need my t.v. out of hawk. The opening of the savings account comes with goals to put at least six months of expenses and the amount required to buy a replacement for my computer in the event this happens in the future. That way I simply go replace my main source of income and do not have to ask anyone for anything. I have decided to work on some books in my spare time provided I ever get spare time again. Well, I have to check and make sure I am still in the market to earn a living so I have to be going.
