Sheesh…what a start-up fail this thing has been. I have so many ideas for this site but not nearly enough time for it. If anyone is still out there and interested in guest posting please let me know.

So many people that I know are under some sort of financial stress these days. From people that have outright lost there jobs to those that have had to take furloughs and lost their overtime. It is unbelievable to me how many people have ended up in a situation where paying the bills from one month to the next is a struggle if not completely impossible.
I was in that same position several years ago. Unemployed then under-employed. I played what I called Russian Roulette with the bills each month. It was hard. When I signed up for unemployment I quickly discovered that what I would be paid wouldn’t even cover the FIRST mortgage payment on the house. Not to mention the second. And that was before food, clothing, fuel and other essentials were even factored in.
So for anyone that thinks I haven’t been there, I have. I know exactly what it is like to lie awake in bed night after night after night literally wondering how I would feed the children.
The stress of that can be unfreakingbelievable. I’ve been there. I know.
Having been there I have a few suggestions for getting through when money is tight. I’m not a financial expert but some of these things worked for me. You all have to weigh the pros and cons of what I offer here for yourself.
What would you add to the list?
Those of us that live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area have probably heard about people (men and women) being attacked while running or walking around Lake Phalen.
I am approaching the 1 year anniversary of when I started running but before that I was a fairly regular walker and biker. If there is one thing I have learned in the last year during my running excursions it is this:
They sell mace for a reason.
If you are going to be out and about, walking your city streets, sidewalks, trails or the like I have a few safety recommendations for you. These safety tips are for EVERYBODY. No exceptions.
Please leave me a comment and let me what item on this list you plan to comply with starting immediately.
