Seeing my income and expenses on paper, in detail, was a little painful. I did learn a great deal about where I am and what I need to do to change (my part).
The biggest eye-opener was seeing that based on my income and the expenses I have right now, my household is carrying a $1071 deficit every month! No wonder I'm stressing!
What this tells me immediately is that I need to increase my income and look into cutting expenses.
By doing this execise, I was able to determine how much I would need to earn when I go back to work. I need a job that pays at least $516/week net, which is about $27,000 for me to start. Knowing this, I was able to find two entry-level jobs on Craigslist that I believe fit my skills. I applied to both tonight (one is part-time, but can lead to full-time). They are both close to home, which is important until I feel better about leaving Craig alone.
It's freeing already just knowing where I stand. Thank You God for giving the ability to get wealth using the skills You gave me. Thank You for renewing my hope. I will continue to lean on You for my prosperity. I love You, Lord. Amen
