Things have been moving forward and I have been putting my money to good use. I got my tax return and I have paid off many outstanding bills. Those bills that were $50-$200, it feels good, but I am afraid that I will not have anything to show for the money that I have received. I want to do different this year with my tax return. Not believing in myself seems to be an issue. I am looking forward to positive results and making my credit score move up. It has nowhere else to go, but up. That's for real. I have set many goals and am making them work.
There is a goal that I have made, that took some of the money I had away. Also, I have had to make some adjustments in my clothes. That is more money that has gone to upgrade my wardrobe, so that is worth it. I have also been eating out. Ran out of groceries so that leaves me to eat out. Not a good choice, but it is what it is. All bills have been paid, need to change where my power bill goes, it still goes to my mothers house. That's an issue too. Another thing, I have set up automatic draft for most of my bills, I need to do that with my power bill and my water if that is an option.
It feels good to look in my account and see all of the money that I have saved. Now to not blow it. There are some things that I need to get, but they will help me to become a better person. What will I do when I grow up? Where will I go? What will be my position in life? Will I complete this program? Do I want to have a leadership degree? Will I stay in the classroom for my entire career? These are all questions that I want to know the answer to, but I will wait to find out. I will continue to put my best foot forward, grow in walk with God, and do what I can to make things better.
I am doing property manangement for a house around the street. I have posted it on socialserve.com and I think it should be rented by the end of the month. This is dealing with those on government assistance so that is money that is coming regardless. Now as far as the other house, they have to go. Tired of trying to get you to pay something you know you need to pay. I went ahead and filed for an eviction. Everytime I do this, it makes me feel some kind of way. Like I really don't want to, but I have no choice. It is part of the game.
Looking at my life there have been some ups and downs and for the most part I have survived them all. Learning as I go and trying to make the best of it. As for school, I have received a specialist degree, now what about this paper that I have to write. I have been in the program for a very long time and it doesn't seem like it will ever end. I know I can't compare myself to others, but for real, it is time to move on to something else. Looking at my future plans, I know and have always known, I don't want to be in the classroom forever. There were plans I made that didn't come to fruition, but that wasn't what God wanted for me. Sometimes, he will bring you to it, but not through it because it wasn't for you. That is something that I have had to realize in my life.
Things are moving forward and it's because I have made some adequate changes in my life. Not doing many of the things I used to do, not being around many of the people I used to be around has helped me to progress in my life. Sometimes it is hard, but you have to limit your interactions with certain people and things in order to see progress. That I have seen. Ordering my steps has helped me greatly and I am proud.
Now, continue to put my best foot forward, not look back on old things. Get over my art of sabatoge and continue to love and embrace the people that love and cherish me. I am thankful for everything that has happened in my life, the good and the bad. Thankful for the people that I have encountered over the years, because without them I wouldn't be where I am today. Life has a purpose for you. As long as you move forward and do what is right, things will fall into place. What I'm realizing is that we want to be worldly and not Godly, that tends to pose a problem no matter what. Love yourself. Don't spend all you have! Put yourself around people that are movers and shakers. Give back to your community! These things will help you grow into the person that you are meant to be.

What Am I Doing Wrong?
This is everything that is happening in my life!
First, been paying attention to the way things have been working out. I have had cash 3x over and spent all of it. On what? Your guess is as good as mine! Need to step outside of self and see what is really going on. In my own opinion, I have taken on more than I can handle. Getting this house fixed has cost more than I thought it would. The guy I have working for me doesn't have transportation, therefore, he doesn't have the cash to buy his own materials. Out more money there. The positive side of that is he is finding things that are wrong and letting me know and fixing them. The house should have been rented last week, not an options.
The house that I moved my stuff into, got broke in. So, I had to move everything yesterday. They only took the television (flat screen, of course). Plus, the neighbor had a video camera and caught them walking with it down the street. Maybe the cops can decipher who it is. Also, the money that they got from the tv is gone. What is the world coming to? Most of my stuff has been removed. The only thing in the house is books, stove, refrigerator and some other things. I did get storage, so that is a good thing.
I thought that one mortgage payment wasn't paid, but she paid me in advance for this month. Right now at this moment, I am going toward zero. Supposed to close on the house at the end of the month, but I don't think that will be a good option. Being that I owe
Suntrust 2x
Bank of America 2x
Person working on house $300
Materials to fix house
Power bill $400+ (of course this is late and I need to transfer service to Fisk to complete repairs)
Water bill
Marybelles car note $500
Marybelle and Liam's insurance $133
I am sure there is more that I owe, but looking all of these bills comes close to $4000, that I don't have. Plus, I am supposed to close on the house at the end of the month. As I and you can see that isn't going to be an option. Make the first thing first,
Make sure there's enough money to cover car note
Pay person working on house
Get property manager to put the power in her name (will not have to pay late fees)
Pay the water bill
Let guy know that I still want to purchase home, but can't due to other obligations
Get Fisk situated and rented out
Move all stuff from other house
As things started to crumble in my face. I realized that there are some business things that need to be taken care of, for instance, all of the properties need to be under one umbrelle. Meaning there needs to be an LLC formed so that in cause of emergencies no one can take them away from me. No co-mingling which I admit, I have been doing the entire time. That is not a good way to go. I will admit, I am not doing what is best for my properties. It seems the better things get the worse they get.
As far as the house that I moved out of, there were signs and my mind was not in a good place to recognize that. For instance, I looked myself out of the house twice last weekend. That was a sign and didn't see it. Not dealing with the properties, but when going to work, I haven't been dressing up, just getting by. All of this has to stop. Today, I will make the most of what I have and make the main thing the the main thing. Write letters to the mortgage companies to inform them that I will have the mortgages paid by the middle of next month. Stop spending unnecessarilty. I will admit, most of the money I have been spending has been going toward eating out. Living between to homes is not a good thing.
On a good note, me moving will save money and allow me to get caught up on all of these bills that I owe. I have taken on more than I can chew. Once things are caught up
Put all houses under an LLC
Apply for business license
Let tenants know there will be someone coming by every 3 months to check on the houses to make sure things are working probably.
Put money in the Suntrust Account and use that for business
Slow down
In some aspects, I feel like a failure, but I know this isn't the case at all. I am being worked on and no one did this but myself. Now all I have to do is remove myself from these situations and make the main thing the main thing. Right now, the main thing is getting Fisk up and running. In doing so, that will bring in cash that I didn't have. I know that this too shall pass and when I get on the other side of this I will be in a better place. Things happen for a reason and this is happening to let me know that I have taken on too much.
Writing/typing has made me see things in a different light. It has made me feel better about my situation. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I am not the first and will not be the last to get in this type of situation. I will be alright. So first things first, write letters to mortgage companies to let them know I am aware of the late fees and will pay them as soon as I can.
It doesn't seem like I will ever achieve financial success, but these are the roads to make it work. Everything will be alright in a few months.

This Too Shall Pass
Things are happening so fast and when something gets fixed something else goes wrong. What is the problem? The house on Fisk has a terrible problem. It is not that bad because it can be fixed, just now it's going to cost more than I anticipated. The life of a property owner.
Issues on Fisk
The entire wall has to be replaced in the bathroom
Plus some of the floor
The water pipes are leaking in the bathroom which is connected to the kitchen need to be replaced
Floor in kitchen has dropped has to be replaced
Ontop of all that, the next door neighbor has been complaining about the trees in the backyard. I removed limbs that were on this shed. There are still some hanging over the shed, but not on the house.
Not worried about anything. Tomorrow is my birthday, I will be 36. Looking toward making my life better, making the right decisions and bettering myself. There is truly nothing wrong. I may have bit off more than I can chew, but one thing I realized. Will this matter this time next year? No, because if not in Septemember the house will get rented out.
Last night, I sorted out my plans to see how much money I actually spend out every month. I am not doing the things that I need to to ensure that Financial Success will be mine. That is all changing! Taking my time to sort out the important things. I have goals and in order to achieve them there have to be some drastic changes to be made. I will make them and keep it moving. I will look back and so I have achieve the goals I have set for myself. No need to be upset and angry for the mistakes that were made in the past. Correct them and move on.
Also, looking to form a LLC for the properties, must seperate the finances and move from being a landlord to a business owner. The LLC will be WJJ properties.
