Over it

OK, I'm very much over the renting house thing, inspections, not being able to do things we want to the house....errrr, just bugs me. So I need to focus on fixing that, currently things that will slow things down...money/income, an average credit history. Income I can work on, I'm hopeful to be able to step up a position within the company I currently work with, anywhere from now up to maybe 12months time, so that's a start. As a joint income I think my wife is making steps towards hers too. So to be realistic 12months? from now...I hope things will change. Credit history...nothing I can do to change that and I take responsibility for it, I'm shit with money and bills, I need to pull my head out of my ass, as to how long that will affect us is just a guess, the only thing to do now, is make sure everything is paid on time, and we start a pattern of saving. We need a budget, we need a plan now. I'd like to say the easy thing would be to win the house we just bought tickets in...but I'm not holding my breath, if it happens great, but otherwise...time to go to work, some hard decisions ahead. This isn't going to be a shorterm thing, we wont be buying a house in 12months-being real about things- but we might feel better about heading in some sort of direction atleast.
