I haven’t found another mobile homeless blog yet, but I was
reading articles by others who are homeless to get rid of debt. It seems others
were homeless for 1.5-2 years. I wasn’t planning on going longer than a year,
but I don’t know now that I'm reading others' experiences.
I guess it depends on how fast I run as a gazelle. Dave Ramsey talks about having "gazelle intensity" when it comes to paying off debt. God has been sending me financial windfalls and giving me financial breaks since I've been homeless. These include:
Both teaching jobs (day and evening) have given me a raise this year.
I got a refund from my health insurance company
I filed some amended tax returns and got back refunds.
Jasmine told me that this summer her son needed $4000 to put
a down payment on his new house for his family. jasmine helped him by
sacrificing $1000 a month for four months. She was amazed that she was able to
find the money, because she’s been trying to pay off her own debt for years. For
the next two months, she tried to put $1000 a month on her own debts, but needs keep coming
up . She has not been able to "find" $1000 again like she did this summer for her son. When the motivation is strong enough, you find the money. I hope she is
able to start that up again.
