Funds are tight

Money is tight and I usually run out of money before I run out of week. I know that doesn’t sound quite right but what I mean is we’re usually out of money before payday comes again. I really hate when that happens. I know we could go out and get a payday cash advance but I’m not too sure about some of the places around here that do that.

Instead we go through things we have and see if we can sell them. If this keeps up and I can’t find a job we aren’t going to have anything left in our condo! There are a few things I wish hubby would get rid of but he refuses to do that. It would make life so much easier if he would just break down and sell those things.

Cleaning out

Cleaning out closets and storage spaces can be daunting but it really doesn’t have to be that way. The best thing to do is to sort things into a keep, sell and donate piles. Find a place to put the keep items and take the donate pile to an organization who will distribute them to people who need them.

For the sell pile you can either have a yard sale or if that’s not possible you can put an ad in the paper or sell them at an online auction place. You can try Craigslist too.

Once you get all your clutter cleaned out you’ll feel so much better about your space and be able to use your closets for the use they were intended such as hanging clothes in them.

Happy New Year

2010 is fast approaching and I just hope it’s a better year than 2009 has been. I’ve been unemployed for a year now and hopefully I’ll find a job in 2010.

Our family has had a very bad 2009 and I hope, for everyone, that their luck changes beginning tomorrow. The bad luck needs to go away and the good luck needs to return.

A list of some of the not so good things that happened during 2009. We had a couple deaths in the family due to cancer, I was unable to find a job and didn’t get called back to the temp job that I loved, my unemployment and worker’s comp ran out within a month of each other and I’ve had no income since May 2009. We had to sell some things in order to survive. My elliptical was one of the things we had to sell.

Here’s hoping for a better year in 2010. Happy New Year readers!
