another short

The last pay Included some OT..and even with the 1k drop... I may be a bit tight next week.. I added up the dine out meals this month. It was shocking to me . Nearly 1k.. I was wondering where I had a leak in funds.

Last time I was keeping track, we avg 300 to 400 a Month... Then last year it was just pizza Fridays.. now with inflation and an added person . ..each outing is between 60 and 150.. twice a week . Today I spent nearly 200 on groceries.. and L has been buying food too . 

I'm not sure this is the right time to add a dependent.

L has mentioned that next week's outing is on them.. 

I did work some call out OT today.. and that will help.. 

All the bills are paid..and no credit card balances.. but..the finances need to improve..

I probably should start leeching off the radio money for a while.. maybe thru January... 

It's an option.. but I will still need to buy radio parts.. more chips soon.. another $500 to make $3k.. over time..it's an investment..and so far it has been good. Demand will dry up eventually.. probably before the supply does.. 

Radio has been busy..steady.. so I'm ok, as long as I can keep up.

.....

I was hoping to have a minute to get a hug. But..  

...

I have not been doing much besides work, home, radio and repeat. 

I know this is my fault but really it's all I know.. it has been my life .

No breaks. 

I wish I knew what to do ...how to get started... 

I have had this issue my whole life.. just stuck.

I'm getting annoyed.. it's time to go..
