Setbacks and Adjustments

December 11, 2024 This week has been great overall. I'm getting closer to receiving payment for work that I've completed this year! I'm so very happy that things are finally coming together. I'll keep you all posted. It's been the missing element and a point of stress for me. I'll resend the invoices and will provide an update on the money when received. I'm hoping that my original goals will be accomplished before the program ends. It's such a relief! I have had some severe pain this week and could barely walk, but I'm so happy that I'm better than I was weeks ago. I went to the chiropractor, which was not in my budget.

Consequently, I've had time to really reconsider my behavior and what I'd like my future financial outlook to be. I really appreciate that you all have treated me like a human despite the challenges. Life happens and we may only be able to control certain portions. Financial wellness allied for future planning for those unexpected times and events. I look forward to continued work with Marco as things become more predictable, I hope! You might also be interested in I’m focusing on financial clarity and intentionality as the week kicks off.
