Wealth, Wealthy, The Wealthiest. Wealth-Wealth weeeeeaaaalth. Oh. Wealth. Wealth. My Wealth Wealth Wealth.
If you don’t like pointless diary entries, then don’t read… Is it that hard?
WEALTH!
I’m only gonna say this once. And then I’m gonna let the new audiences to come, wonder why I do it for the rest of this blog’s lifetime. Essentially, and this isn’t a new battle, my fight with WordPress’s SEO machine, is of course part of the reason, I just don’t go all in with the blog. But, that’s not all! because now, I’m spreading my attention span thin. Hopefully, if I actually do what I want this time, my next post will be about my new fanfiction affinity. It’s finally begun. And the sad part, is that fanfiction will probably pay my bills way sooner than this nightmare I call a blog. But whatever.
A few particularly annoying bits that I need for a good score would be to say the key phrase in the front of the title, in the introduction paragraph, 4 times at least in the blog entirely, that the key phrase is an appropriate length, put in image attributes, AND the meta description text. So I’ve resigned to just saying the keyphrase, over and over in the Introduction.
I just wanted to post, and this one will probably run a little longer. This one is gonna be about the massive blessings that I’ve gotten this month, and what I looking forward to in the future. Sadly, I think we all know that this train is going downhill. And it will go down pretty fast, until it spirals to my worst point of July.
The Stimulus Packages
When I filed with Turbo Tax this year, I found out that I’m in one of two lucky scenarios. Scenario one, the IRS isn’t watching me so closely; a very unlikely possibility. Or scenario 2, in which my parents haven’t claimed me as a dependent…? This is also very unlikely because they probably want the stimulus for themselves, and want the tax credit. Either way, it’s one of them, and Turbo Tax found that I qualified for the first 2 stimulus checks. Along with my normal tax refund. Once I applied, I waited a couple of weeks, and I had gotten it in full.
Not saying this to brag, more that this was an incredibly unexpected turn. And then my college had applications for funding for students that were affected by Covid. I didn’t get the full amount, but pretty close. And around the same time, Congress was FINALLY passing the American Rescue Plan bill. This bill opened the door for college students that didn’t qualify for the first 2. And I was CERTAIN that my parents had claimed me. Regardless, of whether I get that one, the first 2 packages + my tax return alone, has given me more money than I ever had at one time. Approximately around $2,500, was in my bank account total by the time that hit.
That may be pretty pathetic sounding; I’m shining light on it as it is, a blessing. Because that was more money, than I was able to save up for a car during all of Covid-19’s entire rampage on everyone’s life. Why is this important though? I’ll tell you.
My endless journey to driving finally starts to close
Whoever is reading this may be new, may not care, or just may not remember, but I’ve really had one full goal since the pandemic started. I can’t remember the full reason I began to start really pushing for it. It’s always been a big thing for me since the day my mom died a near six years ago. I remember making a post earlier in the pandemic, and a commenter got into a 2 day argument about how I’m not doing enough, and how I’m pathetic for whining, and how I’m not a happy person. Endless tirades about what I should be doing and how people have made a way out before, which is very much true.
But anyways the goal, was to be driving by this year. And what I mean by this was driving before January. And I made progress. Believe it or not, with that goal in mind, I actually made good progress for that. The problem being December as the month with the most action. I was planning on getting driving practice, my license, insurance, and a car before school started back up at the very latest. Which extended my initial deadline by half a month.
The Plan:
It sounds like a lot, but there was definitely a plan in place. What I didn’t calculate, was the week and a half of late work that I would end up doing all the way until the last hour of teachers grading things. Once that week past, I had to detox and cleanse myself for a few days because the semester was awful. I’m still finishing in-completes from the previous semester because online Covid classes were so bad. And then my friend Israel (my gay friend’s alias, don’t ask), who was gonna give me driving lessons, went out a few days early because his homophobic family kept nagging him to come. Holidays are weird…
And then, on Christmas, on his way back home, his car broke down. I’m sure some remember this from my late Christmas post, but just to catch new readers up, his car was completely out of commission. Anyone else that I could’ve asked to help me during break were gone for said break. I was broken down at this point, and my parents hassling me about buying a new phone that I never even asked for, it told me they weren’t anywhere near the same page as me.
GET TO THE POINT!
Well, now, all the way into March, I now have funds for my goal again, his car is back, we’ve already started lessons, and I already zoomed through the basics with the help of another guy in the past. So now, I’m at a good place to rush this and, at the very latest, get my license, by mid April.
There is another tidbit of exciting news, my college is offering housing for paid volunteer work over the summer. If what I’ve heard is correct, this is exactly what I needed before my inevitable push for solitude. Yeah, for newcomers, I’m dropping out of college, and I’m working on plans. But for right at this moment I’m content.
And it’s also very likely that the third stimulus is available for me, and the school’s pandemic stimulus has already been confirmed. So once both of those come, I’m looking at $5,000 in the bank. Which would immediately double the aforementioned milestone.
Naysayers…
I know there are gonna be complaints. For what I do not know. There will probably be some that make the snap judgement that I don’t work hard, or that I’m relying on stimulus to get by. I’m going to remind you, that ALL of this has come within the month of March. While Congress said it would be including college independents, the money would still go to parents. And I was shocked to be getting any of it at all.
And I have been working. I just had to stop, because it was an ice cream shop during winter… DURING COVID! I’m sure there are people who’ve had it way worse and blah blah blah. I’m happy, for once. And I’m really glad I got to this place, handout or not. I actually feel like I have footing.
Random Zodiac Note
Chinatravelguide’s Chinese zodiac luck chart predicted this, and Covid, and my bouts of depression. It said, this would be my wealthiest in the year, and I absolutely agree. The site also states that July will be rough (if you’ve been reading, you know July is always terrible for me), and that I will pick things back up, until around October where I’m at my second wealthiest.
