DearJames,
I am having money problems. I owe the IRS and state taxes. I have prayed on this. I hope to take care of the problem before they take it out of my check. When will I get past this problem? I also asked God for a mate. The last time I picked someone, it ended in a nasty divorce. Will I meet anyone soon?

Dear Money & Mate,
I hate to state the obvious, however, what you need here is a heaping helping of better judgment. From mates to material management, you’ve been operating in the red, a state of total mismanagement.
Underlying both of these areas in your life are entitlement issues. There is a lack of responsibility resonating from you that is quite palpable. That’s not to say you are a bad person, however, this mode of mentality is causing you great harm.
The devil is always in the details, and you have a window of opportunity to do a complete about face and take full responsibility for the predicament you find yourself in.
Seek out a reduction and/or payment plan with the IRS and the State. The state may be tougher to deal with as they generally always want their full take upfront. Once you agree to a reduction and payment plan, STICK WITH IT.
These entities will give you some grace and leeway, however, fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. And should you shame them twice, they will come after you with all their might, so be responsible and avert further lessons of hardship.
It may take you up to a couple of years to pay off the indebtedness and it may require that you take on a second job. Not a horrible price to pay for thumbing ones nose at the system.
Ultimately, you’re meant to learn, not suffer.
Regarding a mate, you need to be very specific when asking God and the Universe to deliver. It’s not enough to tell them what you don’t want, you must tell them openly what you do want, and the want list needs to be lovingly accurate.
That said, you are better off at this time to begin practicing on the “I want” versus the “I don’t want” list than seeking out a new mate. You have much upon your plate that requires your attention and that is how you arrived at this point in the first place, by not paying attention or caring to pay attention.
By committing to realign your priorities, you signal to all, God and the Universe included, that you are ready for greater gifts because you have achieved a greater sense of individual clarity, responsibility, and accountability.
By the time you’ve accomplished that, your bank account and financial situation will be in the black and the appropriately requested mate will be upon your doorstep.
Beware of shortcuts and shortcomings as they will surely lead you in a loop right back to where you started.
