I think we are being charged too much for rent.

Jared and I payed our $200 dollar deposit when we moved in, then $1,087 for move in, which was suppose to include the pet deposit. Then we were told that 1st month rent was suppose to be $473 ( we moved in half way through the month), but it ended up being $211 and change. But then yesterday we got a note saying we owed $235 for this month still. When I went in to talk to our PM about it, she said we forgot to pay the dog deposit, and then we weren’t charged for the carport and Soph’s rent. 

Ummmmmmmmmm. Something doesn’t add up. I am already so stressed about bills, this hasn’t been helping.

I already know we should have looked around more. Rent already is too much for what we are getting and I was just so excited about moving out we didn’t even look anywhere else because of me. I just want to get a new job so I can stop stressing about hours and money and move on with life.

So I’ve been job searching actively for almost two months, and I got two inter is this week out of my constant applying! One of the stores is an adorable bridal boutique in downtown Portland, and I would be a consultant which would be so cool! The other job is with Aflac as an insurance agent.

I am more excited about the bridal shop, but Aflac has more ability to make money, if I put in the work. The idea of being an insurance agent is scary, but it would be nice if I can do it.

Other than that, I’ve been sitting around doing nothing. It’s so boring having no money.

I hate my laptop and I hate all the ads and I can’t get my resume to do what I need it too and I just want a job ok?

It’s not even 10 and they are jack hammering something outside our bedroom window. I closed the window so it’s a little quieter but still, how annoying!

Idk how Jared and I are going to pay bills ever. This apartment, though beautiful, was a mistake, we should have looked elsewhere, but I was so excited to move out and now we never have enough money. Boo growing up. Boo bills. Boo not being able to find a decent job.

I’ve been so upset lately about this. I hate being stressed about money and I hate that I have no hours at work. I feel like my boss hates me and at the same time I can’t get hired anywhere else for some reason. I feel so stressed that even Florida felt like a bad idea, but it was my birthday present to myself and I don’t regret being in the sun for a week. Worth it. I just hope I see my friend half of the money soon from it. I hope Jared’s parents come through and give us that gift card to Costco . We have no food here still other than hot dogs and cereal lol. I want Jared to reapply for food stamps too, we haven’t needed them so he stopped getting them, now we need them.

I just feel like a whiney baby whenever I talk about stuff like this but it’s my biggest issues right now. I hope everything works out for us and we can book back and laugh about when we couldn’t pay bills, but that won’t be for a while I bet.
