Quite a week for you, huh? I haven't been around, but I'm very glad to find your latest posts back on a more even keel!
Sage's stuff is GOLDEN here, Pam. I was paralyzed by the very same fears you have. Honestly people, I hadn't even put gas in the car myself in 10 years!
Sage is completely right about challenging those fears, specifying them first of course, and working in a pre-emptive way to avoid them.
Take the health insurance. I was SURE once CJ's work coverage was gone we'd be screwed (I have a health record a mile long, as you all know)...but we managed to buy into a good package for $200 a month...which is a bargain given what my perscriptions cost.
Our mortgage was knocked in half to help out with our finances, there's just always a way, Pam. Even though the very THOUGHT of it all can seem SOOO incredibly overwhelming.
I totally understand the urge to just run away from it all...but that's rarely the right move is it?
Keep facing down those fears, Pam. You'll find they're not as bad as you'd imagined.
