financial crisis

I have avoided talking about this for a while, but I finally decided I needed to share this bit of news.

I am in serious financial trouble.

Thanks to a budgeting exercise my sister in law helped my mom and I with, we discovered that we are in the hole for $ 600 a month.

Six ... hundred ... dollars ... short ... every ... month.

obviously, that's not sustainable.

So we're trying to find a cheaper place to live, and working where we can to get this under control.

But the biggest disappointment is that I can not justify spending a couple of hundred dollars for a passport so I could go to Arizona for a consult regarding SRS.

Which means that I am stuck as I am, probably for life.

I don't even have words how much that hurts.

Ah, well. Life sucks.
