The Cusp

  I decided to go see what the chances of us winning anything in one of those car dealer scratch off games. They had sent us a letter in the mail that we had a "guaranteed prize" all we had to do was come collect. They are never that easy.
   We went down any way both of us bored and just sitting around the house. While there of course they tried talking me in to buying a car. (They almost succeeded as well.) A nice little 2016 Jeep Compass, they had ran all the numbers and they wanted me in that car. They offered 0$ down, to pay off the mustang I already have and let me keep it and give me zero down. They were trying hard.
  We left with out the car, for now, and proceeded home, our main prize in hand, a little MP3 player. It was the discussion on the drive home that allowed us both to realize, we're almost there. We've almost made it to a point where we are going to be able to live comfortably enough. No worrying over the bills getting paid, losing the internet. We've almost made it out of the lower class.
   This was something that was a bit scary to both of us but exciting at the same time. See we've never had this, we've never been this close to being okay. To having things paid and not having to worry about money the rest the month. We'll be able to go on trips together for the weekend. Have more time at home and off. More time and money to explore the world around us.
   This is absolutely mind blowing to us. It sounds like something small and simple enough to most the world I'm sure. But the sense of relief as you start to realize that your going to be okay, it's all going to be okay, it's absolutely wonderful.
