Jodiann, I am so sorry for your loss! I can not even imagine the pain on top of the pandemic situation! It is not difficult to get on a plan of action. One step at at time.

Thank you so much ,really appreciate it , as it stands I have nothing , paycheck to paycheck trying to find my balance I'm working on it I'm have decided to do my needs not my wants I would buy stuff to make me happy but that happiness is short lived when I am broke again lol So I made a decision to save my 15% a week So one week at at a time I'm changing my bad habits
