I did not expect to get a call from my employer telling me that there was a shift I could pick up. I asked Denisse (finacee) how she would feel about it just in case she had a plan in mind. Denisse is understandably very sensitive to change so I wanted to clear this with her first. It’s easy extra money and the shift is from 10a-6p so I figured I might as well get in the hours when they’re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since work is slow, I managed to file my taxes for 2025 and I am getting an okay refund at 878 dollars. It’s not quite as good as last year’s, but in this administration, I won’t argue. Getting this money back will help a lot. I hope that it processes and deposited quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am feeling a lot better today after putting in some time on the personal finance class on the Khan Academy. I’ve got the beginnings of a budget and I really like the 50\/30\/20 rule that Sal Khan explained and introduced in his videos. It was rather enlightening to see where my money is going. For me, this process was more effective than a cashflow worksheet which my estranged father constantly harps on. Khan’s system is simpler. I’ll continue to work through the course bit by bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel pretty darn good and I don’t completely know why because my professional life isn’t very healthy but I am slowly working on that. I have hope some good will start to come with the budgeting efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
