Due to the financial situation we have been in for a while...we make it paycheck to paycheck. Then the government is going to give out the stimulus package. Thank you Lord, we can put tires on the truck, put it in the shop for tune up or whatever so we can get more than 5 miles to the gallon. We can pay off a couple of small bills that are hanging over our heads.
We are in a payment arrangement for federal taxes from a few years back. They take the refund every year and we expect that. When the stimulus package started it was believed that it would not go to leans or back taxes...because it was meant to be put back into the economy.
Today I found out that yes, it will go to back taxes..so no truck repair for us. I need to feel like I am helping hubby. He has been wonderful...telling me that being here and having his home, dinner, etc for him is more help than I know. I love him for that but I know that he needs me to bring income in to take some of the load off him. It would help us get closer to our "heading for the coast" goal. I have been looking for work, we have only 1 vehicle so it has to be close enough for hubby and I to work out transportation. Now future daughter-in-law is working so we need to add her schedule to the list because her van died.
The job search is really discouraging for me. I am 53, suffer from depression, rheumatoid arthritis (especially in my hands and feet), and fibromyalgia. My symptoms get worse in a high stress environment. So I need to find a job where i can sit and stand off and on, rest my right hand as needed, with no stress. Yeah that will be really easy! I am going to go to Goodwill staffing this week, maybe they can help me out. We shall see.
