I am actually nervous about it, too

We’re halfway into April, and I have no money in savings. I literally ran through everything. Yup, for the first time in my life, I have $0 in savings.

Up until last month, I had a lot of money saved up. I’m not talking like $10K or $20K. It was a bit more than that, and it was literally just for saving; No other purpose.

So, how did I go to having zero money in savings? And why am I nervous about it? More importantly, what am I going to do about it?

Well, read on to find out the answers to those questions.

Note: I’m kind of writing this as a form of therapy, kind of like getting stuff off of my chest.

Why Did I Go Through All My Money

I helped someone get out of a real shitty situation. I won’t go into it too much, but she was in a real bad situation; A domestic abuse kind of situation, so it was pretty serious!

Long story short, I used all of my savings to get her and a loved one out of it. The money went for:

. Place

. Items

. Peace of mind

I basically had to force her to take the money because she didn’t want me to go without or suffer…
