So the stimulous check was supposed to be for us to use to put back into the economy! Today we got a letter stating that my $1500.00 Check would not be coming as it got taken by the federal government for an old student loan I had taken out in 1991...Sheesh! What is w/that?
We had plans with the check to put it back into the economy even though we have been in finiancial issues for a while now.
We desperately need a shed, as we live in an old farm house that had a very old Barn, that needed torn down which is being done, but we were going to get a shed to store our yard tools in! Now they will have to stay in our yard w/tarps over them!
We were going to make a cpl other small purchases of items the kid's needed.... then use the rest for some smaller bills to get them paid off!
So w/that said we will move forward and yes we were upset/mad that they government took a check that we really thought we'd be getting. We wont keep dwelling on it as we have to keep moving forward and the best way to move forward is to let it go...and not keep looking at the negative things that happen in our life.... And trust me we have had more then our share of "bad" things or rough times for the passed 2 yrs now ... we always try to find the positive each time.
I have a lot of good things in my life...I have my family, I have a wonderful group of friends, new and old...and I have a new wonderful home based biz that I love very much! I will just work harder and replace that stimulous check and then some! lol...just wont happen today like I expected the check on June 27, 08 since we had received a letter saying we would get it then....only a few day's before the date....then today get the other letter saying no we wont...
So also if you are still expecting that check, if you own the government money for anything please be prepaired to not receive your check like us.
I'm very glad that about 2 weeks ago I found something that has helped me change our situation and glad that I can do something about the way we have been struggling, it's time to change...and I have the strength and the desier to change! You have to wan change in order to get change....don't dwell on negative things or that's all you'll see and you wont see things that are good right in front of you!
Hope you all have a safe and happy/fun holiday weekend!
