Interesting Things
Hey everyone! Sorry it has been so long once again. I have been thinking about things, many things of late. Life tends to throw you curve balls at every angle. Our job is to get ahead any way we can. How? Well it means work harder more often chasing after what you want.
What do people want? Well considering the stock markets minor plung last Friday it's likely to be money that comes to mind for everyone. For me it's more so how do we fix the bigger problem. There are many who argue and don't agree with my solution but love the general concept. It's the details that matter ironically. On Fridays went from a +3.5% increase on my 401k to a -18.5%. Meaning I lost 22% on Friday. Which is just figures from one of my plans. It is also a good thing I wasn't yet heavily vested there. But at the same time it cut potential increases. Ultimately though you should never pull out when you loose money. Wait until you are positive and then turn around and pull out then reinvest. I only lost that amount because my profile was diversified. Less diversified profiles probably lost upwards of 50%. Which is hard especially if that's your only source of income. Anyway, that's not really what I wanted to post about. It just has likely been on everyone's mind so I figured shoot lets just mention it.
There are a few reasons I'm posting. One being I just recently broke up with my latest BF. I'm really not happy about it and it hurts, but I pray it's for the better. Close friends keep telling me it is. I really want to believe them. It's just hard because this past year I turned 30. I am getting old. I remember when my dad was in his thirties and what I thought. I thought I love him but he's getting old. Lol terrible now that I look back. But be that as it may, I'm not getting younger and it's getting harder to find solid people in life. It makes me appreciate the ones I have more and more. They all definately deserve a shoutout for dealing with me for so many years.
Another update is that I am no longer helping my grandmother out at all unfortunately. We have not spoken either since the day we fought. I'm severely touchy about it though. Which is unfortunate because I love her a lot. I don't think she understood where I was coming from and what I was saying. It's been another rough year for me with everything and maybe I can just make 2016 my year. The year where Chris focuses on being Chris and doing Chris's things. I have always spent a lot of time taking care of family and friends. I love doing that, but as I get older I need to care for myself more. Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that I cannot do both.
So here I am. Boyfriendless, familyless, and pretty much lane in a place I hate but working 2 jobs I love. What pickle did I get myself into lol. I don't know but I will eventually figure it out and go where I want to go.
Anyway, here's the end of my rant. Love you all! Muah!
