Pretty crazy I've already paid $600 in 2 months

Doesn't even feel like I have paid that much but that is what the papers show

if I can keep at $300 a month

I'm projected to be done in 7 months

7 months from August to February

that would be pretty good

3 months quicker than I expected to get everything done

15 months quicker than what I signed up to pay

I do really want to pay the bare minimum for a few months so I can order the pound first then get all the fees paid off

It isn't that big of a deal if I pay what I signed up to pay instead of going above and beyond

Realistically if I'm getting $300 a month and I spend 100$ a month on fees

I still get $200 a month to go towards the pound

Pound I am looking at is 400$ so by September I can place my order and have paid for

I would be off 400$ meaning I would be done with fees in April

still a month earlier than when I was planning on finishing

I found out today the most you can pay ahead of time on supervision fees is 180

current month + 2 months ahead

that's going to be good to know when I get near the end

I can make 4 payments for the entire year instead 1 time a month

I can't believe it is an actual problem but the biggest problem about this entire process will be having too much money

since I can only pay so much supervision and i'll be saving to pay it all

I can't have more than $2,000 because of ssi rules

so like lets pick a random month February in 7 months(not counting July it is basically already over and done)

court done in 3 months October then from November to February i'll have 300x4 = 1,200 - 60*4 = 240 then I get 870 from ssi so that puts me at $1,830 and I would be very close to having too much money

I'm not exactly sure how they would know but I'm sure they have some way of telling

from what I remember you can make UP TO $2,000 a month and you can have any amount of money

because I know farmers and stuff are on ssi and they need money to run their operation

wow just googled it ssi checks something called Countable resources

and you cannot have more than $2,000 as an individual married couples can have $3,000

so I buy the lb asap and I finish fees in April

965 for court

50 august 50 september 250 november 250 december 250 january 100 february puts me at paid and done with court

800 left on supervision by february

250 march 250 april 250 may 50 june

but max I can pay is 180 every 3 months not 250 a month lol

okay so lets find the earliest I can pay it off bottom of the line

I guess if it has me set at 60$ a month and you can only pay up to 180 that means the earliest I could pay everything off is 3 months before I finish

since I would do the 4 payments for a year option

in May I would stay paying 3 months at a time

have to remember I plan on saving all the money to be done but again because ssi rules and supervision payment rules

no matter what before may 2026 i'm going to have to spend money on things I like

so i'm not really hurting myself at all in any way spending this money first thing

like if I had the money and I paid all court cost today

I would still have to sit through the max 180/3 months or 60/month

and no matter what that is going to be around until March 2027 maybe a month or two earlier since I get time served

hahahaha it's only 7/1/2025 I still have 6 months until 1/1/2026 then I have an entire 12 months until 1/1/2027

I've got so much more time in trouble

it's not even like a it's so long omg like upset and mad and want it to be over

it is comical lol I laugh

at least the hardest parts are over

all I have is 1 visit a month for 18 months

staying clean is easy

visits easy

everything else is pretty much done like 6 days left of am 15 days left of cs both of those done in no time

here's a fun math equation

if I have 18 visits and each visit is 30 mins

what percentage of time out of the 18 months is spent doing a visit

then take the time and convert it to 24 hours instead of 18 months

18*30=540    540/60=9

30*24=720 720*60=43,200

9/43,000 simplified 1/4,800

1/4,800 = x/24

x = 0.005

0.005/24

so in a 24 hour day it is 0.005 hours lol

1/24 = 1 hour

.5/24 = 30 mins

.25/24 = 15 mins

.125/24 = 7.30 mins

.0625 = 3.15 mins 

.03125 = 1.37.5 mins

.015625 = 48.75 seconds

.0078125 = 24.375 seconds

.00390625 = 12.1875 seconds *

.001953125 = 6.09375 seconds

.0009765625 = 3.046875 seconds *

.00390625 + .0009765625 = .0048828125 close enough to 0.005

= 15.234375 seconds

so if you shrunk the entire 18 months to 24 hours:

it would feel like 15 seconds in a 24 long hour day

15 seconds, 1/4 a minute, 60 minutes in an hour 24 hours a day 86,000 seconds

15/86,000 

3/17,200

15 seconds in a 24 hour long day lol

if you can count to 15 just one time counting to 15 that's all it would be in an entire day lol

scaled from the 18 months at 30 mins a visit
