Never-ending grind

Never stop grinding

There are a few things in life we should want. I can speak for myself better than others. I want bills in my name to remind me of adulting. I like the mindset of always grinding for a rainy day. I hear a lot about many loves and desires. I love greeting cards and lifetime tv. I don't watch much but you understand. Learning new things can be added to the list.

Food flavors are also included. The grind these days are paying down bills with interest. I have no extra funds to just give away. There are times I say I have to grind all night. It brings me much joy to see a project complete. I joined ascent.sba.org today.

It was very enlightening. I am not a math lover at all. I want to learn for some reason. learning has always been a massive desire of mine. I have a learning disability but it won't stop me. I won't allow it. Since a very young age, I loved reading as well as puzzles. I think now it is time to go back to school. You can never be too old to learn. What do you think?

I would like to take some business classes for the most part. I would do very well there. I also want to know more about spreadsheets etc. I get boggled in my mind when I try to do that now. I just won't bother at this time. I know someone understands the feeling.

The fun thing is recently I began working on my budget harder to knock down a bill. I have taken the time to think about bills while grinding. I have taken on this role for many years now. It is rewarding in more ways than not. I am on the verge of one bill being paid in full. Another just fell in my lap. So the grind continues. There is sunshine at the end of this rain shower.

There are times I wonder if I will eat something good soon. I recently was treated to a steak. What a treat that was for me. There will come a day when the grind blesses me with fruit. You know that fruit for your labor thing, right? I am pretty sure you do. Can you remember the first day you wished to be grown? Paying your own way and making your own rules.

I was a wee little thing when I learned about breaking a bill. I always wanted some change back. This day I am a grinder for cash back. You just have no idea what pennies look like to me. with that said I am blessed and grateful for the little I have. $5 in my checking which is going towards a bill for August. The grind is real.

while I am on a rambling spree I might as well mention this. Today I applied to refinance my car. I have to because the bill is a wee bit less than $500 a month. The fact that money is hard to get now. I can't imagine it going back. I was preapproved so let the clapping begin. I am not going to make a pity party invite. I am going to keep pushing forward.

There are many days this month I wanted to play a scratch card. I just can't lie I did. I also could not take a sure bet of $1 toward a bill. And risk it for a one in a few million chances to buy one. While that was a better choice for me. Sitting down here today was another. I love having a place to think and type. Thank you for reading this far. shays_creations.
