Tonight I finally made it to the other side of the bedroom closet and was rather shocked to find a whole new set of boxes and bags overflowing with past due bills! I felt like Becky Bloomwood in "Confessions of a Shopaholic." Too bad I didn't have her wardrobe to go with it. I was crushed all over again.
As I dragged my fresh bags of shredded chaos out to the recycle bin, my dad said he'd left some books for me on his desk. That surprised me. My father rarely makes mention of the embarrassment that is my financial life. He just lets me live in his house for free and acts like he doesn't know about it.
The books are "Pay It Down,"
by Jean Chatzky and "Nice Girls Don't Get Rich"
by Lois P. Frankel. He said that he knew how far I'd come and if I was going to get to the promised land, then I needed to learn how to get there. Rad.So in between shreds I will read these titles and share my findings with you all, if any. I know both ladies are great writers and I'm anxious to begin! Let's just hope I don't get so pissed that I end up shredding the books instead.

Woohoo! I can follow you and comment as me! It's true it's true now that mercury isn't in retrograde anymore and jupiter has moved into my sign, Pisces, things are ALREADY better! ;-) So far I am liking the blog! Your life sounds like my life in a lot of ways. I'm glad that your dad is so supportive and I am looking forward to a review of the books! Good luck!
