i am taking a long term view with my actions, but can't help but panic mentally. i am much younger than most of you and though i am in this for the long haul, i haven't dealt with this before as much of my money was tied up in real estate before. had to get out of that for various personal and...

global meltdown. i am screwed.

I am seriously freaked out, please tell me I am just being crazy.

whenever pass by makeup counters put the expensive creams on my hands. take extra packets of ketchup and mayo and have a huge stockpile of this in my kitchen

i don't even want to talk about it, my husband's job puts me in a much higher tax bracket. sucks.

don't let your father know you have any money, say you are mortgaged up the hilt, etc. you owe this man nothing as he was little more than a sperm donor. you sound like a really nice guy, problem with that is nice people are easier to take advantage of.
