A job in finance? Send me positive thoughts!

November 13th, 2008 at 08:47 pm

I haven't been working this last month at my temp job for 2 reasons: 1. With the health issue I couldn't work, and 2. They haven't had any work. But I got a call from them today.

They are going to send in my resume for a new assignment: 3 months as a financial expert on 401Ks!! HA! It is 3 weeks of training and then a 3 month position taking incoming calls from customers/clients and potential customers/clients. Honestly, I think it sounds like fun!!

I made sure I mentioned to the temp company that one of my hobbies is financial reading! *smile* (Yes, I do. Not just here, either. *smile*)

It sounds like a great job, and honestly, even if it wasn't, I'd take it.

In other news, made some plans today to tackle my financial crisis right now. My list of calls to make tomorrow:

1. Call the non-profit my therapist reccommended to assist me in filing for SSDI.

2. Call to get on MassHealth (government sponsored health insurance... way cheaper than my $425 a month COBRA).

3. Fill out food stamps app.

4. Check on cell phone plan. If I can cancel it without a fee, I am going to do that and just get a prepaid one. Not working, I don't use it that much anymore.

5. WORK ON BOOK Ok, so this may not technically be a financial thing right now, but if I can get it finished, I can start trying to get it published. I honestly believe it will be published, just as soon as I finish it. Been working on it 3 1/2 years. Time to finish it up.


It feels good to have a plan at least. Sure, things are tough, but I have a plan and that plan will make things better. Ahhh, feeling less stressed already!

    Glad to hear your good news. I think you have made a good decision applying for the sponsored health insurance. It will be one less thing to worry about and you can focus your energy on improving your situation, finishing your book etc..

    Nice Koppur!!! Lot of good stuff going on there. Good luck on all. My health care in Mass is $1,258. Wife forced me to get the Cadillac version of Blue Cross and blue Shield.

    Keep an eye on those NSD and good luck.

    Positive thoughts are headed your way! It certainly can't hurt that you read financial sites for fun. I hope you are able to drop the cell phone plan without penalty. I have prepaid and love it. The phone was cheap and I pay $20+ every 45 days for a card (or maybe it's 60, I can't remember). It works great for me. I don't text, I don't bother with voice mail, and I don't talk a huge amount on it. Usually around the time I should get a new card, I'm running low on the minutes, so it's perfect, and it beats my old contracted plan price of $45 each month.

    Good luck Koppur!
    Plans are good. Even thought they do not always work out, perfectly, I think of it as swimming - even if there are currents and bends, you will still do better swimming than you would flopping. Smile))

    I think you'll do well.

    Sending you good thoughts ... If you get the job, I'll bet you'll end up talking to some of us SAers without even realizing it's us!
