Thanks for the feedback unbidden and scaredsilly. Believe me, I don’t want to leave the dog and hopefully it won’t be long term. I MIGHT have a family member that he could live with for a while. Unfortunately some tough sacrifices have to be made and if it’s in an effort to save my family, I am going to make them.

I recently made one decision W didn’t initially agree with. W just wanted to “wait”. If I took her advice it would have prevented me from paying her the money I owe her every month and it would have ended up being disastrous. Some of these things are judgment calls that I just have to make.

I actually am listening. On the surface it might not seem like it however a lot of the stuff I am working on is counterintuitive. I am working towards IMPROVING things financially. The utilities alone in my current house are absolutely ridiculous. Can you image how crappy I would feel and how furious W would be if she dropped off the kids and I no longer had running water.

W says “no rush” on multiple issues. I think it’s human nature for most people to avoid making the tough decisions. In other words they think not making a decision is easier. The fact is, sometimes making these tough decisions is what’s needed.
