It’s currently 3:51 on a Friday afternoon and I am sitting in the middle of an Apple Store waiting for one of the employees to get me a part to my computer that hadn’t been working. I absolutely love this store! All the employees are friendly and overall very efficient in fixing or answering any questions that I have had. So…word to the wise…if you are looking to buy a new computer, then I strongly suggest an Apple (for the customer service alone!) I love it!
If only Apple could answer every single question I have about every appliance & gadget in my home. Overall, I believe I am a fairly independent woman but when it comes to fixing computers, printers, anything in that magnitude I require a basic 101 lesson on the gadget that I am focused on. A hands on lesson I should say. I have relied on this in past relationships AND I am wanting to get over that and learn how to fix these challenges myself. It drives me crazy that I am unable to figure it out sometimes! I currently have a printer in my home that has not been working for 6 months AND it is only 9 months old. I have bought new ink cartridges, called the printer company, and downloaded the manuals and nuttin’! I really hate asking for help. I finally broke down today and I called my computer savvy friend Pete to see if he could help…so hopefully in the the next few days he can teach me how to get it working.
Earlier today I met with my friend Adam, a financial advisor to look at some future financial planning. Without going into too much detail…this is another area where it is so confusing to me. As a School Teacher, it is well known that we don’t make tons of money…therefore, currently I don’t have tons to invest or put away…but I know I need/want to do something for the future. I have been for awhile, but not much…and I feel like if I just contribute a little more each…I will be moving in the right direction. This is a time when I wish there was a partner or someone I could really trust who knew what was in my mind & heart and who could sit down with me and help me decide how much money to put in a 401k/403b or how to invest it. It also can be scary on what I do or don’t invest in…since there are times when the kiddos’s SSI or Medicaid benefits can be strongly effected by any money I put into these accounts. Overall, the meeting with Adam went well and I feel I am moving in the right direction. Thanks Adam for your patience!!! I hope I didn’t ask too many questions.
Until Next Time,
