But had plenty to get done. I needed to bring Davids radio to the post office.. and wash L's car. And go to the bank and deposit Ls and a radio payment. Got back, parked it and left the keys for the Safelite guy.. took Revington to Plymouth for groceries. Before I left, I got a registered letter about the neighbors horses.. I sent a picture of the letter to N. We texted about it while I was in the grocery store.. then the Safelite guy called and said he was in my driveway..30min early . ..glad I left the key.. so got back and put away the groceries.. and when he was finished, I went to Stop n shop for the stuff I didnt get at Walmart.. and bumped into Rick.. we talked for a bit then I got what I needed and went home . I did get L a Valentine's card.. and one im mailing to N. Cute but not mushy . . Too early for mushy??
Worked on a radio..and talked with Jeff for a few hours about lots of random stuff.
..been a full day .
...
So.. next week will feel weird.. I have not hinted that I am leaving. I think it will be odd.. but I do want to give at least 2 wks notice.. which would mean a week from Monday..which is a holiday..so maybe next Friday... I assume they will let me work till the last day.
It will give Natalie a chance to compute exit pay .
I can explain the reasons.. the primary..beside the pay is the retirement options..or more the limited county options for me.
The true fact that this morning , I had to take money from my savings to make sure I had enough this week for groceries and dinner today.
My extra money is gone..My PayPal account is under $100.. my hidden money in the checkbook is down to $250... my finaces are ok .all my cards are paid off except the one I used for the well repair. Its closer.
The car has one payment left.. but.. I will need the next paycheck and half of the one after to pay the mortgage..
Not much left for the utilities and groceries...
It is past time to step back up.
If I can survive another 5, maybe I can build up the cushion..without running up the cards..and pump some money into SSi and have a better future plan. As well as add some more to the 401k.
Its a better future..if it all holds together..
..
Lets see.
..
I should ask if the holiday weekend, meaning Monday, would be good to go up.. maybe take Tuesday as a comp day...
.
It has to be better.. the driving and wear and tear.. maintenance and fuel..but maybe some OT will help fuel the cushion and maybe some vacation time..a trip or two..
Right now ..no way..it would all be cards and later bills..
Not going back to building debt .
Of course if the car cant handle the commute..I may have to upgrade..but I have Revington..it should help.
Time will tell..if this was the right move or not..I have been worried about it.. as the inflation took hold..the taxes and insurance increased so did my mortgage..but not my pay.. it did eventually..but not before it gradually ate all the spare
cash .
..
Yeah, the majority of this post was about money.. it is a concern..
Nobody wants a poor guy in their life..
I need to remain self-supporting..an asset not a burden .
Less to worry about. For both.
..
Lets hope the timing is good..
Maybe the economy will turn and I wont be chasing this till retirement..
