There's just no two ways about it. We've got a week to figure out how we're going to pay our property taxes. I just hate this feeling.
Here in Texas, we have no state income tax. Which is nice. But they have to pay for public schools and roads and such somehow, so we have hefty property taxes instead. And we have ours separated out from our mortgage (by choice). It makes it easier to pay our mortgage each month, but it means we dread this time of year.
I have a ton of work, but invoicing and receiving payments take a while. There's just no where left to trim. The portion of our monthly expenses that goes to credit card debt is just - well, it makes me want to scream. We haven't added any debt to those cards in forever and ever, and yet there it stands.
I wish I had the wherewithal to put a positive spin on this today, but I just don't. We're at the end of our financial rope. I think we're going to get some credit counseling at the very least. But unless the counselor has a magic wand, I'm not sure what they can do to help.
GAH.
