There is no question that part of my anxiety is wrapped up in money. We have little extra and are simply moving forward in faith that we will have enough.
None of our financial obligations will really change. Kris and Adrian will live at the house while we are gone and cover utilities but the entire house payment will no doubt continue to be ours. The expectation will be that the kids will have time to find an affordable place to live. And, of course, at this point, we have no idea where we will be staying of how much it will cost us.
MY plan, which started a couple of months ago, is to save money every week. The method is thus:
Week 1 = $1
Week 2 = $2
Week 3 = $3
and so on.
Last week I saved $10 and I happen to have another $5 to add to the box. Yes. The box. I haven't told Don. I am simply squirreling money away. I hope to have over $1000 come January.
So, yes, money is a big concern. It always is with me but I'm renewing my faith that we will be provided for and have sufficient for our needs. I did it successfully when Don retired from the military in 2000. I can do it again.
