Things are crazy. I have more medical bills than I thought I would have – payment plans out the wazoo. Mister Ant and I had a cash flow problem that has since been fixed. We bought some electronics. We took a weekend trip. Home improvements in the works. We have finally started to use our central air. I did a little shopping.
Part of the reason I haven’t done my net worth update for July, three weeks into August, is that I know I don’t want to see the number. I know that isn’t right, but it’s where my head is now. I was just so happy to see that I’d finally recovered from getting the house. I don’t want to see what the medical bills have done to my progress. I don’t want to hold myself accountable for missing July’s contributions to my IRA and savings. I don’t want to deal with the fact that I aimed to pay off my car and one of my student loans and yet I haven’t paid any more than the minimum required payment on either of them.
I’m eating, my bills are paid, and I can buy things I want from time to time. My credit isn’t destroyed. I know my checking account balance. For now, that’s all I can handle.
