Sold my condo as I couldn't afford the ever-mounting maintenance expenses and association fees. With proceeds I paid off debts and rented a beautiful apartment and was also promoted to a great position in my workplace. A wonderful relationship had just begun and my girls had tons of friends and were happy with their school and home life. Things were really good.
Now, not so much. The relationship tried to last but wasn't strong enough, I made a risky major move that didn't pan out and lost over ten thousand dollars (a lot of money for a single mom with no degree) I had saved to purchase a house and am desperately trying to find a better position within the company I'm with to get my paycheck even close to where it was 5 years ago, or find a position within government again, mostly for the retirement package/pension.
I do have high hopes for this year, though, and working at getting my head to where it needs to be in order to accomplish these goals and more. I got big plans still, I do.
