The Night Before Settlement

The Night Before Settlement...

And all through the house...

Not one sound, 

Not even the mouse. 

Although it is very strange for the street to be so quiet, Crystel said. 

Don't worry! Alex sighed. Something will happen. 

All of a sudden, a loud screechy squeal from a lone cat outside, hopefully not one of ours. 

The dogs in the boarding kennels, the baby asleep. 

Everything feels too good, too easy. 

My stomach is in knots. 

Tomorrow the settlement date, in the arvo, keys in hand. 

Such a nerve wracking experience. 

Hopefully the bank draws down the money and the cash contribution goes in smoothly. 

No hiccups. 

A fixed fee price hopefully from the lawyers. 

We'll see what the situation is tomorrow. 

If it's more than $5k we're probably going to have a problem. 

Let's hope it will be okay. 

Still to do: 
Change address
Check wifi is installed at new whare
Clean house
Move
Get keys
Sleep in this house for the last time ever. 
Get excited about tomorrow! 

We've worked so hard for this ♥️ 

One more night!

Part 7 - Note To Self

Be onto it.  Know where your money is coming ANG going.  Know your debts.  Pay them. Whatever method you can.  If you're not sure - contact the credit rating companies.  They'll straight up just tell you.  Then you can avoid finding an overdue $9 payment from TWO YEARS AGO that is now putting a red underlined mark under my name and a big ole NOPE on the risk-o-meter for the banks. Ugh.  I worked so hard to get here and am being screwed over by a few things:  * A lack of communication from the company. They should have called me about the outstanding payment. They say they sent two emails back in 2019. I cannot find them. I had no recollection that I had an overdue payment. Had I known... I would have paid the $9!  * The company seem to be refusing to remove this mark from my name on the credit score. This is beyond frustrating.  * The banks see me as a risk because of a missed payment from 2019. Of $9.  * My credit score is currentl...

Continuing to break the poverty mindset

Whuuuu.  I'm still processing the latest thought patterns.  We're going to an Open Home on Sunday. 52 Buchanan. Beautiful big house. Flashy, as Crystel puts it.  She wants to live in a flashy house.  I get it.  We've both been through some crazy trauma and deserve good things.  But inside me is also this niggling thought that makes me think I don't deserve to. That thought is holding me back.  I find it hard to see myself in a fancy, flashy, new house.  I prefer to see myself in a villa.  Part of that could be conditioning while growing up. Maybe it's to do with my preconceived notions and ideas about wealth.  Maybe I still have more work to do.  At present - my list of house options:  52 Buchanan Street Ōpōtiki * 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms * newer house * Not much section * Pizza oven * Big garage * Big white gates * Open plan living and kitchen 32 Potts Ave * 2 bedrooms, 2 toilets, 1 shower over bath * Co...
