No movie, tonight. Instead I did preliminary work on taxes to have for tomorrow's meeting. It's kind of a shock to see that I've spent nearly $6000.00 getting A Place of Safety going, this year, and finding out just how little return there has been on it, thus far.
I know I shouldn't care. I'm glad I'm so close to being done with the book, and I do feel I did right by Brendan's story, but it's tipped me into bankruptcy. Maybe. Depends on if I qualify. I may not.
What's really sad about this is, I've got a really good credit rating, and no matter what that's going to vanish. I won't be defaulting on anything till next month.
So while it's wonderful that Brendan's story is now available to read and I can focus on finding ways to get people interested in it...I wish it hadn't come to this. It's fucking depressing. But I'm $38,000 in debt, which is $4000 more than I made, last year, and I can't keep going like this. Especially if the MAGAt scum get their way and start cutting Social Security benefits.
I like to think they're in too much turmoil, themselves, to really get anything done. But that's too much like wishful thinking.
So this is a preemptive strike. Cutting my costs as much as possible and trying to rebuild my savings, in anticipation. Won't be easy, no matter what.
