I Got Back Up Off the Couch, and am back at full financial strength.
I got really depressed after being fired from a job I thought was going to take me to F.I.
Everyday I just sat here on the couch doing nothing but getting up, entertaining myself, and going back to bed.
I don't have anything to offer anyone.
But I saw an ad in the newspaper for a factory job. And for whatever reason I decided to call them.
I didn't feel motivated. I didn't feel anything. I didn't want to do it, and I didn't not want to do it.
But this factory job has called me back, and hired me. Amidst the Corona virus fears, I have worked every day for the last 6 months. Savings is back at five figures, checkings is back, and all the stocks that I owned are still there pushing out those dividends. I also have lost like 50 pounds.
Things are not all rosy though. I have numbness and burning pain running down my back to my knee, without health insurance. My car is needing maintenance so it can keep running. The landlord is wanting me to find another place to live. I'm still single and alone. I'm older and the opportunities available to me keep shrinking. We could see a greater recession at any time due to Corana virus lockdowns.
You can get lucky with money, but not with weight or any of these other things. I consider it a blessing that I know exactly what goals to go towards. I consider it a blessing that the internet has brought so much great information to me.
The call of the couch is real, but so are the positive benefits to being born in this time and in this country. Just for today, I am going to stand up.
