susandennisWell, my blue cheese artichoke pie is delicious cold. Wow. What a find. I need to dream up some other variations.

Remember those nightmares you had in school and for years after about missing a test or showing up in class naked or some other school horror? Well, I've finally outgrown them and now I have nightmares about money.
I have plenty. It hasn't always been that way but I've worked hard, saved hard, was lucky enough to inherit some. I have a low interest mortgage and a very low interest 2nd mortgage and no other debt. I am very lucky.
BUT I am also childless and husbandless and fairly familyless. There is no one to pay my TiVo and internet bills until the day I die but me. PLUS, since no one will take care of me when I can no longer take care of myself, I will need to hire people. So, in reality, what is plenty now, might - in the not too distant future - be not nearly enough.
I don't spend my waking hours worrying about money. I still earn more than I am probably worth.
But, when I'm asleep, I can easily discover a debt I never knew about or a huge bill I totally forgot about or just lose my money somewhere. It's disconcerting.
