No Title for this one...

June 2nd, 2014 at 06:22 pm

My husband and I received some shocking news. News that I cannot share. But it has managed to overwhelm me and cause me to make bad decisions. Actually...I take that back. I am responsible for the decision that I make. But I found myself making careless decisions while being overwhelmed. I spent $100 on food....and air filters. Why did I do that? Because I went into this panic like...I am not in control of this situation, so spend money.... reaction. I realize this 2 days later when I am literally like WTH did you do!!! I didn't have that money planned. I don't have the money to cover it. And I didn't buy things for meals. I made a bad decision based on emotions. I reacted like my mother... (who makes very poor financial decisions). Am I my mother??? For those that have read my blog you know that I am trying to "not" be my mother. Sure there are some difference....I am not 63 years old with no retirement. I own a home (Well, I am buying a home. I guess I have 28 years before I own it). I do not rely on others to bail me out. I am accountable for my actions. But what I did this weekend was exactly what my mother would do. I need to get out of this mode. *Ugh*

    ((Hugs)) Sorry you have heard some shocking news. The fact that you are aware NOW of your emotions and reactions is good. Also a $100 mistake is better than one that is thousands of dollars. I hope it is something that will get better with time for you.

    Sorry about the shocking news. I'm sure you will figure things out now that you can stand back and look at the situation and how you reacted. We all make unwise choices...hopefully we learn from them so we don't repeat them. Hang in there.

    Take good care. This was a momentary blip.

    I'm sorry about your bad news. Rest assured, when I am upset I do stupid things, too. Usually having to do with dietary decisions, but stupid, nonetheless!

    I hope you'll just forgive yourself for making some careless decisions while being stressed out by 'shocking' news. We all make mistakes and sometimes just get careless and lose focus.

    If we can help with suggestion to rescue something from spent funds, let us know.
