on Friday our GST check was auto deposited into our account. It had dropped 30 dollars. July is the month that the government adjusts everything after the tax year. If GST has gone down, my baby Check will have gone down too. This is unfortunate to the extreme.

The government calculates what you will get based on LAST YEARS income, and since I was making about 300.00 a month in baby sitting last year, they automatically assume I will be doing the same this year. FAIL.

I am desperately hoping that I will be able to apeal their decision to cut my BBC, but I doubt I will be successful, on top of that, it is EXTREMLY stressfully knowing it will be cut – BUT WHAT TOO??

My student loan payment, the car insurance payment and out home security system payment come out of the BBC, and I usually have enough to also pay three of the four monthly bills we get, leaving just one to be paid out of Hubs account.

Not knowing what my BBC will be means I do not know how much will have to come out of Hubs check, meaning I have no idea what to budget for.

Luckily, my friend called me this afternoon asking If I will be able to baby sit her two kids for two weeks.She is quitting her job and must give 2 weeks notice, and on Friday she found out the babysitter she had been using was virtually abandoning (and not feeding) her children!

The money I make over those two weeks goes a long LONG way to giving me peace of mind in terms of bills, and hopefully, the BBC will not be dropped as far as I think it will and we will still be fine.

Fingers crossed!
