I was so worried about income, especially this month with such short notice on the tutoring center shutting down. I am much more optimistic as things seem to be working out well. However, I hate to "count my chickens before they hatch."

It looks as if taking on the remaining students will work out well. So far, it looks as if myself and the other tutor who are building our own little business won't lose much, if any, tutoring income.

Also, I had a conference call with a client who I write real estate articles for. He more or less offered me full-time work.

So, if all of the above go as planned, not only will I not lose income, I will add quite a bit to it!

I still plan on staying on the emergency budget this month. After all, I need to have that income in place before I can plan its use. The one thing I may go ahead and do is pay the student loan payment rather than putting them back on deferment (which I can do next month if necessary).

Keep you fingers crossed, but I do believe everything is going to work out quite well! The only downside is I may be working 12+ hour days every single day.
