Worry for nothing. I do that all the time.

Time and time again, I always get worried about money issues. So does my husband. He and my roommate have the nicknames, doom and gloom.
More and more, I get grief about not working much in the off season, but somehow, the bills have gotten paid no matter how little work I've had over the winter.
I just got a call from my boss telling me that our biggest job so far this year starts on Monday.
This is going to be a long week, working in a line of work I've never done before, stucco removal. Not supposed to be easy, but it will definitely be an interesting experience.
After removing it, we will be painting as well, so it's not just a removal job. Not going to be quick or easy.
After finally getting the hydro bill completely paid off the other day, I can finally get thinking about paying the rent for next month.
I consider this another grace period, something that seems to happen every month around here, sort of like a stay of execution. It always happens this way even in the summer when work is plentiful.
For now, there is relief to be had, but this will mean long days for me and hopefully better sleeps at night since I will be so tired when finished work.

Oh how I can relate with this one, and I personally think that a lot of people are this way. They go on about things in their life, and then something happens that makes them start questioning things and maybe even question their surroundings, their job, their family, financial situation, their health, etc. to where they sometimes just want to give up not wanting to think about the positive in their life as well. I know many times I have been there and it is not Good. When this happens the best thing to do is find other things that are good going on in your life and learn to focus on them instead.

Me too, I worry ALL the time! Even before when I still had a job, I worry about so many things including my work, etc., not to mention the bills and what lies ahead. So you can just imagine now that I don't have a job anymore and just depend on my husband for income! Even on the most simple things, I still worry about. Like when my husband comes home late, I worry to the max on what has happened to him, so I always text him and make sure he's okay. But the biggest worry I have right now is the future. What the future holds for me. I do have a LOT of goals and such big dreams in my life and I really want them to come true and it really worries me that I don't have enough resources and time to fulfill them. Almost every night I couldn't get to sleep well because I always worry about the future and my dreams. Especially now that I'm about to give birth to my baby girl, I always worry if I cannot support her and her needs and my whole family's needs

It is so sad that they do not work and worry as hard as you do. I wonder if it is the women only who worry this way. I do.

I was worried about money all the time. I don't have to worry any more, at least not for a while. I will be getting enough on my SSI check to pay for my room and my student loans will take care of the rest. I am so relieved that things have finally settled down for me. Hopefully this job will get you through and that you have many good night's sleep!

If often go to worry about money,or the things that did not happen,is to oneself of a kind of suffering,it is very hard.Actually each one,more or less,have such worry.So,how to resolve such habits?I think,you need to relax,thoroughly relax,tell myself that I was relaxed,I'm relaxing-time is long,good.

This is good news! Sometimes after a long period of time with no money there is light after the tunnel. A long week with a bit of additional earnings is good.
What I try to do is intentionally put away even if it is only $5 - $10 dollars every now again so that when it thunders financially we have a bit saved.
Best of luck!
