Money is slow coming in. We just lost my wife's medical insurance a couple of months ago and are now paying 1500 a month for it.
We did not exchange gifts at Christmas. We are clipping coupons, cutting back where we can, and remaining hopeful for the future to be better.
I try and put together no spend days on the top of my list of things to do! I keep socking as much money away as possible.
I was shoveling snow last week and developed some sort of heart arrythmia. I went to the cardiologist and he does not think it serious but I am going for a nuclear stress test this Tuesday.
We had a cold spell and I found myself stuffing newspaper around the doors in order to stop heat loss.
I pay cash for most everything these days. I throw the loose change in a jar in order to save. When I fill the jar up I'll put the money in the bank.
I wish everyone a good year and the best of health!

I hope it gets better but I am not too optimistic it will happen any time soon!

The payment alone is making me sick!
