My friend is in trouble...

August 14th, 2009 at 02:31 pm

She currently has a full time contract position but we will find out tonight whether she still has it or not. I think this is the 4th or 5th time psycho boss has threatened to fire everybody. She (and everyone else) has to meet with him individually today.

She doesn't have any savings so tonight whether she still has a job or not, I am going to build her a couple of financial plans to see if we can get her back on track. Two steps forward, one step back. At least she isn't at the point of having creditors calling (she's been there unfortunately). But she did pay last month's rent with a credit card so I don't think tonight will paint a rosy picture...

    I think it's unfortunate that people don't look at their finances until things are turning for the worse. That's like the worst time to have to tighten the belt too.

    I don't know that she waited till things took a turn for the worse because even this is better than her past. I think its more that she is starting to recognize when she has let things go too far. This is a girl that found watching Confessions of a Shopaholic painful because it was too close to her own life's story. She is definitely in the two steps forward, one step back phase. Basically, she let things get way out of control a long time ago and is still paying for it.

    Lol, now I don't blame you there. Her finances horrify me. Other than financially, she's a nice girl.
