Financial Planning, etc.
Friday, October 24, 2008
This AM my husband went to a financial counselor that he had seen recommended in a Debtor's Anonymous book - (He had crunched numbers last night. ) The funny thing is that the upshot was that he was told that he wasn't making enuf $! (Years ago when I went to a debt agency, they told me the same thing!) There is such a thing as underearning, which they talk about in DA -
It was ironic, but it reassured me that we really are being fairly frugal...Things have been slow for me, and I haven't made a lot of $ lately - only pin $. The last paid music gig was in September....But we do have our gig as Santa & Mrs. Claus coming up in early December....We have been doing that for years. Mark is a great Santa!
Think I am beginning to feel better. I have been at the computer, at least.. Without it I think I would go bonkers....And everyday in the mail there is another freebie! Samples of all sorts and lots of magazines.
Going to schlepp (drag in NYese) my mysteries to a swap meet on Sat. to see if I can get anything out of them. I get them cheaply - but I sitll don't want to just donate them if I don't at least try to recycle them for more book $. People say books don't sell - but there are a lot of mysteries & so on - I think I can get rid of some...(You see I have for the time being given up on selling them online...) I have 8/9 bags of them - it does clear out the bedroom! Then there is another sale 11/6 -
So, I have gotten sample of supplements and a pedometer in the mail - plus lotion...There is a LOT of that...Also ordering some small things to use as Xmas presents....I have started an Xmas bag into which I am putting prospective presents...altho I am really cutting down this year...
Finally going to my gratis acting class on Tuesday - they have a Brit guest coming, which should be interesting... Maybe I can whip up my enthusiasm for all that stuff...hard when you are down with a bug...
Boy, am I looking forward to the sunshine at the boat over the weekend! There are some advantages to S. California....
