October Blues

It's been financially difficult for me since the last post. Apparently, since I have my debt on one credit card my options for help are limited. If I had debt on various cards, roll out the red carpet, help is on it's way. So, I've been struggling to find someone/somewhere to give me the help, the advice, or the direction I need. I've finally moved past my ashamed phase and now I can't get the help I really need.

On another front, my husband has had $200.00 in overdraft fees since August. We've had major discussions about his inability to keep track of his purchases. If he were keeping the receipts, at the very least, I wouldn't be upset. Instead, he uses his debit card like a credit card and it is creating major trouble. He has promised to keep better record, but only time will tell. Money we have saved from our wedding has been used to pay off these fees.

In addition to all these money problems, I just turn blue around this time. My birthday starts a series of events and holidays that I don't get to spend with my family.

i'm sorry. i'll find out in a month if my insurance will cover things or if i then owe another $600 for medical things. yay!
and christmas is coming soon. time for presents that i can't afford to buy for the people i love. at least i'll get to go home for 3 days. i wish you could too.
this'll be the first time i don't come visit for thanksgiving.
i'd hate to suggest it, but maybe you should transfer a partial balance to another credit card & you could get assistance? i know that's not the best option, but you are trying to handle things before they get even more out of control.
