Starting Over, Yet Again

August 31st, 2012 at 01:45 am

Any other Sex and the City fans out there? Smile

Well, it�s been almost a year since my last blog post. Darn, I wish I could post regularly like so many of the other bloggers on this site. I get caught up in life and then forget about a lot of things.

I am so very disorganized at this moment in my life and I need to get back on track. It�s negatively effecting my finances and that needs to change! I�ve been catching up on the blogs the past few weeks and getting re-inspired to deal with money matters.

The biggest financial fail I�ve had is that for some unknown reason, I decided to stop paying my bills for a few months. I just lost track. Thankfully, I recently set up automatic payments for my electric and phone bills, so no utilities got shut off! Unfortunately, I had run up some charges on 3 credit cards and accrued both interest and late fees for a few months. I NEVER do that. NEVER! I even got the first month�s late charges reversed because I always pay on time and then I didn�t pay the next month�s bill. Doh! I�m so disappointed in myself. But, I�m vowing to clean up my mess, hopefully learn from it all, and move on. Overall, my financial picture is very good. It could just be a whole lot better (as could my life) if I decided to focus more. So, here I am, yet again.

I�m going to start tracking my expenses starting September 1 and see if I can keep them fairly minimal for the month.

Hope everyone is doing well!

    welcome back! i think everybody goes through setbacks now and then (i know i have!). the important thing is that you'll be starting over more driven and with more life lessons this time around. good luck and keep us posted! =)
