Latest example: No money to live on this summer. Submit a fine application for the summer dissertation fellowship ON TIME! And then they extend the deadline, sinstead of a 1 in 3 chance. My chance was 1 in 10, and I didn't get it. How will I eat?
My luck has been so bad for such a long time, and at every turn I have tried to take the lesson, but honestly, it's starting to border on the ridiculous.

Financial Samsara
04/29Open up a Pay-Pal donation link like you did for you friend from England. As always, I'm good for $20 in a pinch. Your many other fans will also contribute, and perhaps it will float you through another month. My little spiritual mantra, in terms of my worry habit used to be, "If I can explain how I'll survive the next month, then it's all good." Anyway, let us know how we can use our little credit cards to help. -

04/29So far, it hasn't gotten to that point, but I sure appreciate the offer! I promise I'd ask if I needed it. I really would! :D

04/29Have some Faith! How old are you? If you're older than two, you've got some pretty hard core evidence that life goes on, and on, and on... Chances are pretty good that you'll be here this fall.
Here's my definition of faith: www.individualwithacause.com/faith.cfm Hope it helps!
Peace Out. -

Re: Financial Samsara
04/29Oh, I know life goes on, but I'd like it to suck less for a little bit. Just so you know what you're dealing with, I'm usually quite upbeat, but I've had several disasters that have befallen me financially, and dissertion-wise, and revently, I've realized that it actually feels a little better to just accept what is, rather than trying to spin everything as positive, when sometimes, it just isn't.
Nice link, by the way. Thanks. :D -

Re: Financial Samsara
04/29I've just beaten that financial devil. In 3 years I've gone from $15,000 in the hole, to $10,000 out of it. It took me totally unlearning everything I thought about money in order to turn the tides. Everything I adopted mentally to make the change is beautifully summed up in this free e-book:

You're already past the hump of the rational mind thinking there is nothing more to the universe than cause and effect, so you're ahead of where I was three years ago. Check out the book and put it into practice and I guarantee you'll conquer your financial dismay.
Good luck! T -

Re: Financial Samsara
04/29Oh... see... It isn't bad management. I have two significant challenges related to money. First, my ex-husband had a bit of a spending problem, and unfortunately, I took care of that more than I should have over the years. Second, I'm at the end of my doctoral program, and for the past six years, I've been living on $12K annually. It really isn't enough money to live on, but we all struggle and scrape by during the program, knowing that we are going to be decent earners eventually.
"Everything I adopted mentally to make the change is beautifully summed up in this free e-book" <<< Are you sure you aren't a bot?! -
