Greetings!
I hope everyone had a great holiday season. The new year is here and with that comes a new outcome on life.
My holiday season was not as good as it could have been. It was another emotional December, but I am hoping that everything is now behind me so that I can have a fresh start to 2015.
December is always a hard time for me. I'm not a Scrooge, I am a Grinch. Easiest way to put it is that I hate Christmas. To me it is about spending time with your loved ones, but too many people focus on the gift aspect. And about receiving gifts. For example, I was appalled this Christmas when my oldest nephew complained about the number of presents he received at Nana's house. Child was not grateful for what he did receive. This year I spent approximately $50 on gifts, as everyone received something handmade. This is mostly because I gave myself the "gift" of bankruptcy for Christmas.
Ever since leaving the tool store, I have been in financial hardship. Partially brought on from them not paying me my last pay check and vacation pay until mid November. So with the bankruptcy, I am hoping I can get my financial life in order. With the new year, I will be looking for a new job. One that pays more than minimum wage. I will also be doing my 2nd year as a tax professional. Which I am excited about.
That is all for now. But I will have another post coming right up also. I figured it would be easier splitting it into two posts. Part 2 to follow...
