what do you do when?

When I was in high school I couldn't even get a job at McDonald's. No one would give me a chance. So I left. Now every business is hiring including mine. I've had financial ups and downs in my life. I think it builds character. However I am on an incline at the moment and hopefully will not experience another financial down. If you need money, then take what ever work you can get. Always take pride in your work and do your best. If you wait for it to happen it will not. You have to make it happen. About 10 years ago I decided I was going to do what I wanted to do. I didn't care about the money. I wanted to be happy going to work. So I got a job doing what I loved. Now I own a company and in control of my income.

Well, I could say that in a way, I'm in a stand still, too, at the moment. Though I have a job and am working with a private corporation for almost four years now, my salary isn't enough to shoulder all the bills and other agenda my husband and I are planning to do. I'm the only one working for the family because my husband has no job at present. In fact, we still have a substantial amount outstanding on our credit card bills and loans from government and private institutions. To add up, the company is currently facing a financial crisis and is planning to close shop until the end of this year. I can't do anything but try as hard as I could to pay all bills (rent, water, electricity), and provide meals for me, my husband, and our daughter who is turning three next month. Honestly, we even have no funds set aside for the services of a nanny so we both decided that he will take care of our daughter and be with her in the rented house while I go to work during weekdays. Aside from this, I try to manage my time and squeeze earning online. Payout may not be fast but it sure could help us in the future. We do have a lot of plans but without capital or sufficient funds, we can't possibly carry them all out. More than a couple of months ago, my husband and I decided that either he or I will try working abroad, preferably in another Asian country so it will still be near to our country. Two weeks ago, we started processing our documents and passport using the money I borrowed from my officemates. But we weren't able to accomplish everything as the cash we have in hand isn't sufficient to cover all the expenses. Until we will be given our separation pay, I guess this will do for now. Much patience and tightening of the belt is really required in times like these. Hopefully, God is already sending help on the way.

it is very hard. you fill out applications. you hope and pray to God to help and guide you. you try to watch your spending and try to wait and hold yourself together. no knowing is hard. you are not alone in this situation. but try to relax because it is best for your health. when you've done all that you can do try to find things to occupy your thoughts. find things to do, it is best to keep busy. and hope for the best.
