Ok, so, beyond the neighbor who has been taking pictures through my windows, beyond my missing cat, and beyond a possible family of possible raccoons possibly collapsing my porch ceiling (and I use the word "ceiling" loosely here), everything hurts and nothing is beautiful.
It doesn't, mostly, have to do with money, but that's a still a big factor because it always is. Insurance had to be paid this month which, because of the kind of landlord my mother is, means that it was paid (yay!) but I still have to pay her because it's not a gift, more of a reprieve.
That's $250-something. (Very specific, I know, but the cat and neighbor and possible raccoons took up most of the conversations.) Do I have that? No.
In fact I just had to take back money that had been intended to be a gift to someone but ended up as more of an extremely short term loan just to get the monthlies done. And one of them I did late which, when the late fee is combined with interest, means my balance went up instead of down.
Not counting things with deferred interest that will come back to bite me starting in July and bringing about the apocalypse by October, my worst interest debt (worst first) is:
$357.00 on a card that was supposed to be paid off, but I needed it.
$1,521.76 on a card I had hoped to pay off a while back but obviously didn't.
$534.29 on a card I had hopes of paying off at about the same time.
I said I'd have reason to conclude that investing in stuff was stupid, that's part of the reason. I could have paid down some of that.
Of course if I had, I'd still need to come up with the 250-something for the insurance, and taxes will come due eventually.
