I just finished paying the bills for the month, what a relief. Not that we are struggling, it is just that the paychecks came at odd weeks so I had to pay a couple days late. I don’t think anything gives me more anxiety than not being able to pay bills, or pay them on time. It wasn’t always like that. I used to not stress so much, and not care if I was late. But then again I used to be able to sedate myself into oblivion, or try the “If I just go to sleep, everything will be ok” method. Now I get the “I can’t sleep until I do all I can” method.
Thank God I have Katie to balance me out for whenever I get too stressed out. She keeps the “we do what we can when we can” attitude when it comes to finance.
That said, I am always relieved when I get those things for which I owe up to date and stay current.
