Trying to settle things, still, with Valve about my account; but in order to feel secure enough in case I lose a lump sum from my bank account (just in case I DO get charged for what they claim (which I made sure to avoid) happened, when I get around to it. Something to do with me canceling 3 cart's-worth of games from my account, which I did NOT do; but can't convince them anyway, even with my mountain of evidence.) I'm trying to save up and earn as much as quickly as possible so I won't overdraft on any payback, provided worst-case scenario.
Now here's the bummer... How is it that anytime I need money, or have a possible debt to pay off ASAP, everyone needs money from me? I'm not kidding, I need a safe zone, and I'm paying off all gas refills to my car, and restocking the food in the house; which much of it (especially the car) I'm not using. I can't get anything done (which requires my funding) because everyone else doesn't have money. This is why I hate being generous and/or overall nice. Because whenever I'm broke, everyone still needs money from me, and I'm not a bank.
However, I'm going to start charging interest on paybacks if things don't improve anytime soon with these situations. If I'm going to provide insurance to everyone in the house, I must be ensured that I can insure.
Ugh. And with crappy paychecks still coming in (fortunately, still coming in for what it's worth), recovery is going to be fun and slow.
