Alright all...life has been really kicking me in the teeth as of lately. My ex was supposed to be moving out last weekend and she ended up staying at least for the time being. While things are still really confusing between us, she did finally admit she's still in love with me but she's confused and scared because of my financial mess I've been in and she feels like if she marries me, she'll marry a lifetime of debt and headaches.
Short version...I have been at my job for almost 14 years. I'm 31. I'm 1099'd...and as a teenager who had no experience with 1099's I got overwhelmed with taxes very quickly. I now owe the IRS a small fortune because once I got so far behind, I just gave up.
So I got ahold of an extra $500 for my etrade account...it becomes available on 9/1.
No more impatience or overconfidence. No more jumping the gun on a gamble and no more buying on unsettled funds. I'm going to play smart like my life depends on this because truthfully, it does. If I run out of money again, it could be a long while before I can afford to try again.
Wish me luck...and wish me patience!
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” —Mark Twain.
