I'm hopeful

I'm hopeful and nervous this month. WHY?! Glad you asked. In November, Jared took over some more accounts from the guy he had previously purchased from. This is a great thing but we were unable to get funds again. SO, the guy offered to let us make payments. I am so grateful to have bought this route from such a great and understanding guy. REALLY, who out there would trust someone enough to let them take over part of their business without seeing so much as a dime? It's unheard of these days. Well, since we had already purchased several accounts from them in 2005, they asked that we start making payments in 06 to help out with the taxes they'd be hit with for selling the business. This made it possible for us to give our boys a great Christmas. Now though, we are in 06 and this is the first month that we are due to make a payment to them. I am nervous for a couple of reasons. First of all, I have asked Jared several times to talk to the guy and get all the details worked out and a contract written up. So far, nothing of the sort has happened so I have yet to find out what our payment to them will be! Secondly, we will be PAYING more than Jared used to make in a month. I know that he makes MUCH more per month now but when you get used to a certain montly income for, oh, 10 years or so, it's difficult to get your mind around the fact that you have more money now! I know in my heart that we'll be fine. Jared's great at what he does and he's getting new accounts weekly just from good word of mouth. He also has repair work that is extra and some sidework from others in the business. BUT, I guess I'm just an extreme worry wart! UGH, I can feel my hairs turning gray already!
