After 84 I felt like was on razors edge trying to keep up. Chores and errands were hard to keep up with and food always had to be quick (I was broke to that ment ordering food wasn't an option).

I luckily had a boss that told me to quit the other job and not to worry I was secure at that one. I would have kept working both careers if he hadn't though :/

Yeah. It’s awful. We should never have to do it. But, I like getting the chance when I can. Nice to pay all the bills in one fell swoop off a single week of work.

I had no other real opportunity to stay out of the rental housing trap. I would have been paying an extra couple hundred a month and putting zero dollars to equity.
