90 Day Grind (2week update)

quick update on my 90 day grind, i’m about 14 days in from the starting balance of $280. Sadly it seems like great improvement but after my mortgage, rent and other bills i might have less than half leftover. i’ve been surviving on $4 rotisserie chickens from the grocery store and various homemade soups but hopefully at day 28ish(counting by pay periods) i’ll have some savings to show for my efforts bc right now im taking care of my living expenses.

Also worth mentioning i have 2 jobs & a rental property, one pays me 1500(bi-weekly), another pays 1400(weekly) with a rental paying 4500(monthly)

90 Day Grind Starts Noww

Recently had to pay for a new boiler for a rental property so that left me pretty drained and now after finally doing my ‘23/‘24/‘25 taxes i owe 3k state/13k federal(16k total). The plan here is to pay off the 16k in taxes that i owe to get back on track before the year ends so i can work on other things as i plan on buying another house in 2027 now that i have a new job that pays pretty well. I’d say i make ballpark 12k a month and half of that goes directly to bills. Today marks the first day of my 12 week journey so i’ll try to make updates as time goes on and hopefully i can be an example for anyone who’s in the same position financially!

lifetime embarrassment

(30m) to start off i wanna say in 99% of my life im an extremely confident person, i have a lot of good things going for me i have a thriving social life and i barely let anyone’s opinion get to me. i dont have the best eyebrows and since i was 17 ive been filling them in to look as natural as possible and its really a night an day difference as i get a lot of positive attention IRL and on social media. id say only about 4 people in the 13years ive been doing it have ever noticed half my eyebrows missing, some have commented and some just have an expression of shock on their face and dont say anything but regardless its the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to me and i never know how to respond bc again an everyday man filling in his brows is not something ive ever come across in life aside from actors n models which i am neither. recently a blue collar coworker might’ve noticed and i played it off but now im just feeling self conscious bc information like that spreading would get me laughed at constantly and have people look at me as less of a man. id wanna get cosmetic surgery but how am i suppose to go into hiding for months during the healing process while still paying bills/having a social life. at the end of the day its my biggest secret that only my siblings know, keep in mind ive had tons of GFs and not a single one has ever noticed. not looking for an answer to my problem bc ik i should love who i am instead of hiding behind a cover but just trying to vent to some faceless ears.
