It's late and I'm stressing.

I don't often focus on the negative in life because it's just too time consuming, energy eating and depressing...but sometimes late at night something hits me and I can't sleep until I figure stuff out. Tonight it's bills.

Anyone and everyone I've ever known has had some financial difficulties in their lives and I can fully attest to the claim that the more you make the more you spend because somehow, someway, I manage to be broke working full time and not working full time. It's just a vicious cycle. Sure, there's the money in savings that I don't want to touch, but I'm talking about bill money. Broke is just a part of my life right now...and tonight I'm stressing over medical bills from the past and upcoming. When I had D I was fortunate enough to be double covered and didn't have any medical bills. That's not the case this time. Since I'm not working full time my husband is carrying me on his insurance and his alone. I have no idea how I'm going to budget that bill into the monthly bill. And when I stress like this I start fine tooth combing every other bill we have. I'm always looking for ways to save, but you can't scrimp on the light and water bill! I know it's nothing to worry too much over, I'm just thankful to have a home I can afford and a car that's paid for, but it's the little things that manage to frustrate me and overwhelm me at times.
