For the past few days, I have been praying and asking GOD to no longer be financially struggling which although I’m paying my obligations on time, I feel broke.
Yesterday, I learned from my supervisor about an energy alternative to my electric company which it sources energy through many sources and is paid by subscription. $10 per month from almost $90. After learning about company, I signed up and the funds saved will pay down my Amazon and my credit union VISA. Plus, keeping temperature between around 80 degrees to save money.
With my current home sinking in value per Zillow estimates like many others, I have learned that my property tax will decrease per my State’s legislature. This change will result in a credit or refund thus effecting my escrow account on my mortgage. My former home up north hasn’t lost value and is worth more than my current residence.
Purchased a trip for my vacation back in February and my vacuum dying adds to the financial strain. Since my trip planned, I rarely go out for dinner and I haven’t purchased clothes until recently plus cut down on gas and electric at the house.
Lastly, I keep a budget based on expenses and income from my primary job and my online closet sales. My online closet sales have improved because of my sharing of 100s of items each morning. Thought about a second job but my instincts were to sell my inventory to make sales.
Shared my personal experience because I believe that others are in the same situation as myself. Please don’t criticize, mock or politicize. Much appreciated. Hard working Americans being resilient. Myself and others will overcome our difficulties and challenges to achieve our goals.
Hopeful,
Leslie Elizabeth David.
Additional: my electric savings was misleading because of my area isn’t in the zone.
