Yesterday, when I checked the mail, I received notice that my bank is now beginning the foreclosure procedure.
*sighs*
I didn't even read or pay attention to these last three days because the title was: Money and Volunteer work.
Now before you get all up in my grill, let me explain this...
I've worked in the financial industry for 6 years. Trust me, I know about money. I know how to save, and invest and blah blah blah. I understand the value of a dollar - especially now that I'm unemployed. So trust me, I get it.
Volunteer work - did a ton of that with my church for the last two years. This year is the exception.
I do wish more people would volunteer though, because there are so many needs out there, and we are stronger together than we are alone.
I'll be checking up stuff in the community to see if I can volunteer for something. Maybe reading at a library or something similar.
So, yeah, being that I'm extremely broke, and I've given much of my time to volunteering over the last couple years - yeah, I really wasn't in the mode to go through those chapters. I'm sure they're great, and have lots of good info, but at this point in time, it just grieves me.

Stay motivated!
Things will get better, there is a season for everything, do not beat yourself up for not volunteering, maybe it's not your season right now. Stay positive, despite what the outside world would throw at you. You have the knowledge, you can do this! You're at day 97, you've got dedication.
I'm impressed...
with your progress in tools! You've been through some tough things and you're still putting in the effort. Hopefully the positives of tools help you feel good about yourself. Things will look up.
