Just had to write this down
May. 9th, 2013 07:05 pmI think my brain just hijacked itself out of a depressing thought relating to how I hardly post in this thing (or write at all, outside of my work) anymore, so I felt compelled to write this down:
I just realized that it has been more than 6 months since my funemployment benefits ran out, and I haven't starved to death. In fact, April was a decent month, income-wise, and at this point, I still have as much money banked as I did at the end of 2012. My self-imposed personal budget has been tight, but apparently, it's effective.
AND, I met a financial planner at a networking function, so I'm working with her on setting some real long-term goals. During our meeting on Monday, I realized just how many of the details I actually do have in my head, and that I'm not as out-of-touch with my money as I thought. I almost feel like a big damn grown-up.
Next step: get the penny-pinching tire-kickers out of my worklife, and connect with more of the folks who have a respectable amount of cash to spend.
