Its FRIDAY!!!

June 12th, 2009 at 03:22 pm

Yea! I made it to the weekend! I put $10 more gas in my car this morning...just enough to get me to work and back! Can't wait for payday next week! I think I am going to have to borrow some money from my mom until Friday. UGGGHHH!!! At least I am in a position to be able to pay her back, used to not do that. I would "borrow" money with no ability to repay. That at least feels good.

Those of you who follow my blogs know of the struggles I have had with DH's finances. He is in the same boat as me this week...completely broke! He acts as if I should be giving him money to get to work...I don't have it either!!! He really isn't making enough to cover his gas and expenses to get to work, so I don't know why he continues to work there. I told him about a store opening that was taking applications, but he didn't apply. I think he likes the drama. But...he came home the other day and asked how I would feel about him going into business for himself. Seems that there is a business for sale on the lake for $12k. It really is a good deal for all the equipment and stuff but neither he nor I have 12K. He asked last night how hard it would be to get a small business loan. Given both of our credit, I would say impossible. Plus I just don't think he has the business sense to work for himself. That sounds terrible...but given his financial struggles, I just don't think he could handle it. Plus he would insist on having his brother(leech) work from him which would not be good. Anyway, I just think it is best that he can't get the money to do it.

    Realism is realism. If your DH doesn't have savings to buy a business, doesn't have the credit to get a loan, and doesn't have the business sense to keep a small business going. . . it doesn't sound like a reasonable course of action to pursue this opportunity.

    Hang in there.

    But how do I keep pretending like I believe him in when more and more each day I don't? I know that is not financially related, but it kind of is, because without the financial part of it, I would believe in him totally...

    That's the $64,000 question (as they say) isn't it? I don't have a good answer. . . I've been way too direct in some respects with Mr. H. It's a fine balance between being empathetic and encouraging with allowing him to experience the consequences of his actions. Don't prevent a crisis from occurring, as they say in Al-Anon. I hope others will chime in because I haven't had a great deal of success in this part of life, as my blog will attest!
