Hello There,
It's been a wild ride.
I got back on the horse a few days ago, but I was so out of practice I didn't even add any tags. SMH
But that's how its been lately.
Like things don't get done at 100%. I see mistakes left and right. Projects that have been procrastinated on. Paperwork that could mean more paper in my pocket.
Federal Paper that is held up cause I probably did it wrong (I hope it doesn't stifle my stimulus)
But then I look up
And see how far I have come, how close I have been able to keep my children while getting here. And feel totally and completely blessed.
In the most basic sense, the United States, or at least Southern California, is giving a Basic Income to Moms who live on their own.
Tax breaks in the form of Stimulus Check Will begin Circulating July 15
Out of all the people I know, who have been blessed with this benefit, I only know of ONE dumbass who is using it to get high, and feed a gambling addiction, but he has untreated mental issues.
Which just goes to show that Mental Health Care Sucks in the United States and cannot be fixed by literally throwing money at it.
Most of the people I know are working just as hard, but living just that much more comfortably.
I sure do sleep better at night when I don't have to worry about my bills. Of course, My Gig is most of the reason why this is true, but regardless of where the blessing is coming from. Lots of us parents are sleeping better. .
Many of us, have used this little boost to build savings accounts. And lots of us have bought property.
I also know of more than a few of us, who have finally been able to launch into the "Entrepreneur" title.
Some have taking up hobbies, like jogging, which I am sure will save money for the US in future medical bills.
(Assuming Universal Health Care becomes a thing)
Some also have The Deluxe Basic Income Package which includes Unemployment Benefits
I do admit, that I am still a little sore that some weeks I could have earned more on unemployment than actually employing myself. These past few months of the home stretch (of moving into my house) were extra hard to find time to log on and work. And now, needing to do all this work to move in, plus not finding my materials...
But I still feel I made the correct decision. In stopping collecting Unemployment Benefits.
When I stopped getting them, I really could work and was doing great at it.
Turning the water off while I brush my teeth is not going to undo the loads of damage "true water wasters" are putting on our Mother. But I still turn it off.
This started as a simple check in
But I am happy that it evolved, into a very biased perspective. Of how positively these stimulus checks have benefited individual families.
Thank you for reading.
