I don't know much about long-term financial planning and can't advise on whether you should leave your current city, but I am a CHAMP at saving money, and if you need to keep a tighter budget I'm sure your Catholic sisters can give you lots of suggestions on how to help out, from crockpot cooking to ebay shopping, to dressing better for less and turning your thermostat down. Think of it as an adventure rather than a burden. After all, anyone with money can live well. It takes real talent and skill to live well without :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951481887669777591.post-59034140944063603012009-02-27T19:42:00.000-05:002009-02-27T19:42:00.000-05:00Oh, Julian -- I know how you feel!

But I will off you my prayers, knowing that God is so good. <BR/><BR/>I will offer you this much. You are a wonderful woman who is seeking to do God's will, to perfect yourself daiy, to know yourself through Christ. Don't be shocked if someone--in this case a very nice young man--wants to be around you. When you seek Christ, you radiate Him, and people want that! <BR/><BR/>So don't be so hard on yourself!! I think even after we pass the uncertainties of the 'twenty-somethings,' life brings new uncertainties and tribulations. Nothing just happens in our lives -- everything that happens is an opportunity for grace. So don't let discouragement get you down -- reach out and grab those graces!! They are gifts from the One who loves you!Edith Magdalenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17000057975723736463noreply@blogger.com
