Thank you Seeker.
I really dont know how my boyfriend will react but he does have some idea of my financial situation. I dont know that I want to tell him the truth about my financial situation. He is very conservative and saves everything he has to the point of not enjoying life cause he lives on needs only. I get a bit jeolous sometimes because he has no money worries...but he doesnt do much for entertainment. So I dont know if this is how I want to live and would rather wait until I know that we have something definite. Now that I am on a budget I dont know how I will explain to him that I can no longer contribute to our meals together since I usually offer (and he expects me to). A bit complicated. He is wonderful man and we get along great..but sometimes wonder if we have a future together.
Anyway, I have created both budgets for home and business. My business expenses are $2300.00 which includes a savings account for $800 per month. The credit cards are about $1400 all together and I am planning on paying and additional $1400 each month. I will pay myself $4000 per month for my home expenses and dont plan to buy much until I get my cards paid.
Problem is that right now I dont have much money until I get that Budget flow that I had once. I am really behind as far as having money to fund the budget..just have to hope that my business does very well this week.
I will also have to pay property taxes coming up and its pretty high and I dont have the money either. I took a lot of my savings out to repair one of my rentals and to pay the mortgages while it was empty.
Anyway...I know that once I get the budget going it will all work out...just getting there is difficult right now.
Thank you all for your wonderful advice.
