No time to be spending money

Life has been so busy lately with putting in 11 - 16 hour days most days at my new job and then spending 2 - 3 hours each night at the hospital with my dad (now that he has been moved to a hospital here in the city) that I really have had no time to spend any money on "stuff". I've also had absolutely no time at all for myself or to get anything done around my house.

I have spent a lot on gas over the past 5 weeks when my dad was in the other hospital as it was 3 hours round trip and I was driving out there regularly, so my gas budget is completely overspent.

I am getting his house ready to sell and the first painting quote has come in at $2,600 - OUCH!! I also ordered new appliances at $1,776. I will use either my EF or my LOC for these expenses until the house sells. There will be other costs associated with getting the house ready to sell like purchasing new light fixtures, etc.

It's all so exhausting.

Could you give a discount to a buyer and sell it "as is"?

Oh no. Sounds exhausting. Hang in there though, and spend the time with your dad :)

I'm sorry to hear about your dad... but thank goodness he's closer now! What a great daughter you are, helping with the house sale and the hospital visits on top of your long hours at work...

Take care so you don't burn out...
