wanted repayment.
I’d done them out of love.
But somewhere along the way, my generosity had stopped being appreciated and started being treated like an obligation.
When I arrived home, I put the ham back into the oven to keep warm.
Then I poured myself a small glass of wine, sat at my desk, and opened my laptop.
For the first time in years, I reviewed my finances with my own future in mind.
I made three decisions that evening.
First, I contacted our mobile provider to arrange for Owen and Christa’s lines to be transferred to their own billing responsibility, with proper advance notice.
Second, I spoke with my insurance representative about removing Owen’s vehicle from my policy when its coverage period ended. I made sure he would have time to arrange replacement insurance.
Third, I canceled the automatic $400 monthly transfer.
That last decision was the hardest.
