Life!

Well I have been working both jobs for a few weeks and things was going good. I found out the other day that I will have to give up one of the jobs due to the hours changing, and it would be a conflict. That was fine with me, and then life sneaks up on me again. I am pregnant.

I had been trying for years to have a baby, and God chose now for me to get pregnant. It is my ex's baby, but he wants no involvement in the situation. At this point I am so thankful for my supportive family, but I have got to figure out what i am going to do financially. It is one thing to take care of myself, but a complete other to care for a child too. I am not stressing about it because I believe that God had this in his plan, and it will all work out. I am thankful for the baby and I hope I can provide it with everything I possibly can.

Start Another Job on Monday

Well I have been looking for a second job, and I have finally found one. It is not anything great at the moment, but has the possibility of being great in a few months. It will help me on my financial journey by giving me about $400 extra a month. I will be so glad when I can get my degree and really work on my career, but these two jobs will work well for a while.

Working two jobs will have it's ups and downs, but it will be worth the hard work. I still need a car, and am hopeful for an apartment in the next few months. I do feel hopeless at times, but I keep my head up and move on.

This financial journey is really starting from the beginning. I know it will begin to get better with prayers and hard work. Life is not easy, and we were never told that it would be. I have got to focus on me for a while to get my finances straight as well as the rest of my life.

Update on the Secured Credit Card

About a month ago I told everyone about the secured credit card that I had applied for. I was approved for the card, but I had to put the $200 deposit. I have not been able to come up with that amount because of my hours being cut so drastically at work. Well I will have the $200 at the beginning of November. I will have it because of my online earnings. I have chosen not to spend any of my online income, so I will have well over $200 in my Paypal account the beginning of November. I feel great knowing that I do have some money coming in every month from something that I have not put a lot of work into the last few months.

As of November I will have the secured credit card and will be able to tell everyone how much it affects my credit a few months after that. I am actually very excited to get the secured credit card, because it is a start on my credit repair process.

I Found Another Part Time Job

I have still been unsuccessful in finding a full time job in my local area, so I have been looking at every option. I went for an interview today, and I did get the job. It will still only be 20 hours a week, but it will be a great addition to one of my other part time jobs. I may be giving up one of my jobs, but I only work 20 hour a month at it. I will start the job in a couple of weeks as soon as the location is opened. I am hoping that this will help me get on track with my financial plans, even though I feel like I am running behind.

My other job is actually giving me more hours during the next few weeks, so my income will greatly increase. I have only been working 1-2 days a week, but they have increased it to 4. That will increase my weekly income by more that $200. My new job will work around the hours I currently work, so I am very positive about the next couple of months being positive financially.
