An update on all my bad news!

Some of you may have seen my post about everything going on. After stressing for a few days and wondering what I am going to do…I have decided to take it one step at a time. I’m going to focus on getting my cavities filled because my tooth has been hurting and I know it is just getting worse. The longer I leave the cavity unfilled the worse it will get. Plus the longer I leave it, the more money it will cost to get it fixed. So I have decided to focus on that first and save up for that. It may not be easy but I know I will be able to do it. I also know it won’t happen overnight but I have to start somewhere. Someone owes me money and I talked to them, they are going to start paying me back and I will use that towards the dentist bill. It won’t cover the entire bill but it will be a lot easier to pay for the bill when I will have the majority of it covered by the money that they owe me. My plan is to wear my backup glasses instead of contacts to save money. I will do my eye exam later, after I am finished paying the dentist bill and get my cavities filled. This way I don’t have to worry about the cost of the eye doctor’s exam either. I prefer to wear contacts but glasses will have to do for now. I can use the money that I would have spent on the eye doctors and contacts and spend that on the dentist bill. The second thing I will do is not pay my cell phone. Yes it is very convenient to have a cell phone but it is not a necessity. So I will just have to do without a cell phone until I am in a much better financial position. I can use the home phone, and email for any conversations that I need to have with people. I just have to remember to update important accounts with the home number instead of my cell. I received an email today confirming that I can take more classes and that I don’t have to pay on the loans as soon as I thought I did. So this is some very good news. This will give me longer to save for a car, and get into a better financial position. It will also help to pay for classes and possibly be able to finish my degree now. I’m so happy to hear this especially after receiving bad news for months at a time. I will still struggle some but I will manage. I might not have income for a while but I will just work harder at earning money online for the next couple of months or so. I’m hoping I can find a job at home, or find a way to make some type of income at least until I am able to get a car so I can go to work. I know this doesn’t solve all my problems right now, but it is a good start. I already wrote down a list of things I need to do and save up for. It will be work, but it will be worth it.
