It’s 2 AM and I’m worrying about money…

12 June 2008 3 Comments

Do Money Worries Keep You Awake?Yes, even Money Experts worry about money. Does this happen to you, too?

It used to happen to me a lot before I became a Money Expert (and was one of the reasons I became one).

So, what am I worried about? Well, maybe if I share them with all of you, I’ll be able to go back to sleep!

Here’s my list:

The Recession: What will the Recession mean for my business and what does it mean to all of you. What can I do to ease you through it?

My Business: I’m currently enrolled in a new marketing and business development course and it’s great! And, it’s taking a lot of time. So, I’m worried about how to fit it all in and not turn any clients away.

My Money Pit of House Projects: A couple of months ago, I decided it was time to put in new carpet upstairs. But, before that could be done the walls going upstairs and in the hallways needed to be painted. But, I couldn’t paint just them – the downstairs walls needed to be painted, too. And now that the walls look beautiful, the window coverings need to be replaced and the doors look really dingy.

As for the carpet… When my son, Toby, pulled it up, we discovered that the original owner had done some really strange things on the steps around the railing and now I have a drywall mess that’s going to be expensive to fix.

So, my home improvement budget is blown and I’ll have to put some of it on a credit card. I’ll probably use Home Depot for the carpet and they have 0% for 12 months which lets me push out the payment until after next tax season’s bonus check. (I did call them to ask if they had any discount coupons and they sent me one for 10% off the carpet itself – every little bit helps).

Ah, I do feel better! Back to bed.

Would you like to get your money worries off your chest? The comment box cries out to unburden you!

Warmly, Cindy

    I’ll bite!

    $200 a month for a web conference room, $100 for a room air conditioner and a little matter of a speeding ticket that the manchild got is putting a pinch on my budget this week!

    An extra $600 right now would be most delicious ;)

    AAAHHHH – where to begin?! UM, yea it’s not pretty when you have money worries, but I try to think positive and keep telling myself ‘this too will pass’. Things tend to get worse before they get better. I know we’re not alone!
