Additional Posts to come

Just a note about my personal life; I am on ODSP, Ontario Disability. I get my money on the last business day of the month and it is always a challenge to make it stretch to the next time I get more money.

I after paying a truly all-inclusive Rent (internet, phone, power, heat, etc) I have $435 left for the month. This means I have roughly $14 a day for all my other needs.

I tried putting away $5 for every day and just using the rest "as needed" but I always found that all of the as-needed fund was dry by about the 20th.

For a while I tried putting $5 on the pockets, and another $5 in half the pockets on alternating days, making for a 5-10-5-10-5-10 pattern. This worked, but again, I'd run dry of the "as needed" money by about the 25th, and those last few "5" days were difficult.

A few months ago I tried just putting $10 in all the pockets. Generally this works, except when unexpected expenses come up.

Both this and last month, I had to change my 10-10-10 pattern to a 5-10-5 pattern. Next month will also be difficult.

Regardless, the point of this post is one of the first things I said; I get my money on the last business day of the month.

I find it a lot easier to write when I'm not being actively depressed about my financial situation, which generally means that on and after the 27th of any random month, I'm not in a very good writing mood.

Long story short, I will finish writing this alternate history, but being blunt, I may be the 31st before I do so. I am, however, trying to find time tonight or tomorrow to finish it and make my german election post on my professional blog.

I'd like to remind people of my patreon https://www.patreon.com/TeddyOnPolitics

Every dollar helps (literally)

If I can get up to $4 in donations, it will cover the patreon donations that I make to creators that I enjoy, and thus relieve a LOT of mental stress that I have every month.

Hopefully next month will be better. I get money on the 29th of September, meaning the money from the end of this month. 31 days is $310 in my pocket system, 29 is $290. When you are talking about $310, $20 is a lot, 6% in fact, and a 6% bump in money to spend in a month matters quite a lot.

February can be the best.
