Received my first pension payment yesterday. After the standard bills (mortgage, elec/water, internet/phone, pets, ...) I got about 155 a month for food and medical left. Can't count the tax return at the moment as it's going straight to school at the moment ( the little that's left to pay) and some 'end of the year bills' (healthinsurance, hosting, cloathing, ... ) and no clue for this and next year due to end of contract (2015) and out process (2016) payments. Should stabilize for 2017 but don't know what 'those idiots' are planning to change with the income tax (800+ new numbers on the form with 34 completely new ones this year *facepalm*).

So it seems that at this time, I'll be keeping my house although I'm trying to cut some corners on bills wherever I'm able so no more xmas / birthday steak. What I'm meaning to say is that it's manageble. Could have been, very mutch so, worse.

PS scored an 96,5 on a networktech test and a 100 on a cisco package tracer excercise and a paper *happy dance*. Back in the top 3 for my classes ( last test was 74 and missed one homework task due to being sick) so averaging somewhere between 80 and 85 this year. *thumbs vingers to her old boss* Not so useless even if I got a paper that says so (paper says unfit for any duty/job) thanks to her > 'official' reason for medical :( )
