Didn't Hit the Mega Millions - but...

Well like most of you who dreamed of hitting it big this week, it wasn't in the cards for us.  But WOW wouldn't it have been amazing.  I saw on TV tonight the family that won half the prize picked up their check for $190 million.  I could have handled that.  Don't you have a "dream" list?  Things that you'd change if you took home that check?  We do. 

Sometimes though it's even hard to think about that when you're struggling to just make it to the end of the month.  I get that too.  We've been victims of an investment scheme that I couldn't even talk about for years, it hurt so badly.  Even though the investor is in federal prison, it still hurt to think we were so taken.  That was ten years ago and we've been crawling out of a huge hole ever since.  Add to the hole the fact that health issues dumped more dirt in the hole and wouldn't let us dig out very quickly.  So I know about financial struggle.

I also know that this year as we begin a new year, I'm more hopeful than I have been in a long time.  Thanks in part to this.  I've been working online for a while now.  Since it's really my best choice, health wise.  I've been working to build a list, learning lots of things I never knew anything about, and now it's starting to truly pay.  The new year is looking brighter than they have since the big loss.  So if you're struggling, trying to learn to earn online, or just looking for a way to set aside money for education, retirement, or fun money, maybe we can enjoy the year together!
