It's 9:54 am and I have spent the last 30 minutes battling my email. For whatever reason Vista does not like Outlook today - the technological example of a family feud. On top of that there was a message on the phone for my past due student loan payment...And it starts. I also have some work to do which helps to move the day along. The problem is that the work I do now will not pay for another 30 to 60 days. I find that this is when my debt accumulates - when I am waiting for payment. Plus business was slow last month so I won't make very much this month. Yet another contributing factor to the never ending mountain of debt.
Part of this journey is to find a way to alleviate some of my debt. The first step is to talk to a debt management consultant. Tonight my husband and I need to sit down and write out all of our debt and assets (yikes) and present them to the consultant to come up with an action plan.
I also need to address how I got here in the first place. A debt not examined is not worth accumulating...or something like that. But that is a story for another day. Today i will cook Pork Pies with puff pastry tops. Yummy.
KITCHEN EFFICIENCY TIP: Get to know your butcher. I was buying meat from a grocery store whose overall price was cheaper but I was getting a bad cut of beef and incorrect portions. I tell my butcher how many people I am feeding and he gives me what I need. I save a lot of money that way and everyone is eating proper portion sizes.
