I wish that I had learned the things that I have learned over the last year, 20 years ago. Some days I am not sure how a reasonably intelligent woman has made it to my age without having a clue about personal finance but I have. I don't blame anyone or anything but myself. There were plenty of contributing factors but I was the one who made the decisions. I guess it scares me a little about how many people are in the same boat that I am, financially clueless.

Right now I don't see myself as poor, just a few steps above broke. Things are slowly getting better for me and they ARE you getting better for you. You have reached a settlement with your credit card company, you are looking for a roommate to share some of the housing costs, you are working to get your business up and running, it is falling into place, just a bit on the slow side. We are all here for you! I think you have made some great strides in the couple months I’ve been reading your blog. Right now I don’t see myself as poor, just a few steps above broke.

I've not thought of myself as broke but I guess I am, every time I buy something I am spending money that I owe to someone else. Chin up CindyS and remember that, "this too will pass"! I wish you all the best for your business. I don’t know if I can call myself poor, I know of others who have so much less that I don’t know if I should.

I guess I associate being broke with spending too much money. This is different, I am not earning enough to live on. It will get better as the business grows if I can survive that long. The plumber was telling me the other day that he "bled to death" for 3 years after he started his business down here. I don't know if I can last that long.

You are broke right now. Broke is much much easier to overcome than poor. No, poor is a state of mind. You are broke right now. Broke is much much easier to overcome than poor.
