On February 23, 2024, it is going to be a complete yr since I had a full time job. And over a yr and a half since I had a full time job with advantages.
I walked into work on January ninth able to go heads down on tax work and anticipated getting absolutely caught up over the following couple of months.
After which the opposite shoe dropped. My boss let me go.
Her reasoning was that she was slicing down her accounting apply so she might deal with it independently and she or he was not going to want me. She was variety sufficient to provide me 2 months severance. However all my ideas of catching up, out the door with no discover in any respect.
I used to be shook once more!
And with that, it has now been a complete yr that I’ve lower than full time earnings. A complete yr of not having sufficient cash to even cowl my primary payments.
Holding My Breathe
I had a complete slew of posts deliberate speaking about how my No Spend Month was going and what money owed I used to be going to pay with the additional earnings I used to be making…However all I might do was flip inward once more and begin holding my breathe. I had actually simply caught up. I got here into the yr so stuffed with hope.
After which the cycle began yet again. I imply, critically, what number of instances do I’ve to undergo this. And why me?
And whereas I don’t are usually superstitious, I’ve undoubtedly discovered that the exhausting issues do are available three’s. First my warmth went out, then I misplaced my job…
And inside a few days, my glasses broke. Simply fell to items. And no, I can not operate with out them. I actually can not see. It was a tough week.
Typical me, I turned inward and went silent. Licking my wounds and making an attempt to determine the reasoning behind this.
