Yesterday I was informed at work that I had the next three days off. I knew that I would have today off, (Veteran's day), but was unaware that I would have Thursday and Friday off too. Although this is only two days of no pay, I'm still a little stressed out. Things have been really hard lately with the holidays coming up (Christmas presents always stress us financially...) but also things to pay for with Chloe. Having a dog has been really rewarding but also extremely eye opening. I am even ashamed to say how much we've spent on her vet bills the last 4 months. And to top it all off, she will need to be neutered within the next couple of months. The vet estimates that this will cost around 500.00. Agh. I know that God is ALWAYS good to us through tight times, (which we have seen many times in the last two years), but for some reason I still stress when finances crunch. Maybe it's the financial adviser in me that is SCREAMING to just be putting all my massive amounts of savings (ya, right) into my IRA account. But that dream seems a little bit off...
