Money and Dad
Money is biting me in the ass the last half of July. First half was good, and I was able to purchase all the necessary car parts for my broncos and my fathers trucks. But now car payment was paid, groceries need to be bought, Dad was short this month so I gave him a couple hundred. And I think I’ve spent my paycheck already, until I get paid again on the 30th *wince*. I have plenty in savings to keep me afloat, I just hate pulling from it. But I guess that’s what it’s there for, right..?
I’m to email my friend Heather about some investing advice. I want to really start focusing on making sure I’m good to go when retirement hits. I already have a 401k, but I’ve sent an email to the accountant here about the possibility of the Roth 401k. I also need to set up a 5 year investment fund of sorts for when I buy my new house in a few years. And at some point I’d like to do more research on other things to keep track of for retirement.
I guess my fathers predicament of absolutely no retirement has made me paranoid and wanting to start as early as possible.
Our gas is also low again, enough that I can really smell it leaking into the house. This would be the third time this year that we’ve run out because Suburban Propane will not deliver more often for some reason. I know they keep peopel on various schedules depending on how often they use their gas, I don’t see why it’s so hard to put us on a more frequent one.
It’s just tight right now, and I don’t like tight.
My fathers birthday is coming up in September. I’m not sure what I want to do yet. I thought buying him a brand new lawnmower. If we didn’t have all these animals to take care of, I’d take him up to the old cabins in New Hampshire that we used to go to. I also want to completely redo his room for him at some point when he’s gone for the day. He has no room in that little closet of his, and patching up the holes in the walls and such and setting up a desk and used computer for him would be a nice treat. Plus it’d get all his bills and shit off my damn kitchen table lol.
