Unexpected Blessings

As I've mentioned before, I really just don't care about a lot of stuff.... especially finances. After my divorce I went from $247,000 in various liquid accounts to zero. Its been about 9 months since I've made a payment on "our" credit cards that are in my name. I've been trying to save to file bankruptcy and I just learned that the owners of the place I live want to raise my rent. On top of that I ran out of money this past Monday for the first time in my life. Either way, I keep doing what I'm doing and hunkered down and signed up for some OT. I also get 40 hours of holiday pay between Nov and Dec and I get 3 paychecks in Dec (I plan my bills on 2 paychecks a month). Things were really starting to pile up. Well I found a beautiful place that my girl's landlord owns and he wants $200 LESS than what I'm paying now! On top of that I checked me mail last night and had a check for $2200 from Workers Comp for my knee injury that I had no idea about! The Dr. says I have a 2% permenant disability from it, so that check is the firt installment!! I now have money for my bankruptcy, my move, and all my drugs leading up to the show and the show!! This is the stuff I talk about when I say when things get bad I just keep on pushing forward since you never know when something will fall onto your lap. Just thought I'd share my story with you guys.

good for you brutha! One foot in front of the other is all you can do in life as you said and know! Im sure that cash will come in mighty handy brutha!!!!! Im honestly happy for ya brutha cuase usualy when theirs light at the end of the tunnel its usualy a train,lol

Life is to short bro... You can't let fuckn no one or no shit take you down... And the good things in life will fall on your lap.. Good luck Dude.

There is always a silver lining....money comes and goes...I used to make a pretty good income but I quit because I was miserable....I get my bills paid now...and not much else is left....but Im 1000 times happier...

I'm glad good luck has swung ur way

Thanks guys. Plang, I was in the same boat. I made between 160-180K a year, but I hated my life. The job now pays the bills, but I'm much happier and I actually enjoy going to work. I'm also 1000 times happier with my new career and my new girl.
Its strange, although I have all kinds of financial stress that I never had, I'm so much happier its really hard to believe!

dude glad 2 hear things r lookin up , theres 1 thing that holds true for everyone and everything for every bad there is a good , for every good theres a bad , this is life in a nut shell i started teachin my kids that at a very young age , some cultures express it as yin and yang . people that understand this concept live much happier lives . sorry 2 hear about the knee but glad it paid off with perfect timing.

Words of wisdom...keep moving forward and things are bound to get better.

good example of karma........i'm happy for you bro

Good for you man!!! One door closes and a better one opens.

Exactly... I was in the same situation. I don't make as much right now, but it will get better, and I'm way happier with my job. I'm much more active now, so gaining weight is a little harder, since I burn it all off, but cutting up will be much easier now. :sport:

I'm glad to hear you're in a good place, Dude. When I saw you the other day, you looked less stressed and much happier. It's nice to see the good guys win one.
