So, it's been over two months since I have posted anything, I just haven't felt like writing. It's been a long road these few months. Things are looking up!
So I've come to some realizations... people life on what they have, because they want to or because they have to. If you make $20,000 a year, you spend $20,000 a year $40,000 and so on and so on. But how much does one REALLY need to live? Not as much as they think. Comfortably?? Probably significantly more. But where is the balance between living comfortably and living below your means. That's how you save ya know. Granted, bills are different for every situation, situations are different, but money is money. It's how you spend it that makes a difference. It's nice to have money, to not have to worry and think every second about that $3 in your checking account and can you make it to the next pay check? That's a rough place to be and a lot of people find themselves there. All that to say, we will be again looking at our money to make sure we are spending only what we need and the occasional want, not the always want. Because of my job it is giving us the opportunity to pay off our credit card, which is good, we don't want to have credit card debt. It's hard to see that money just "go away" though. Stupid America and buy now pay later mentality... we will follow you no more!
So, my siblings in law are spending the weekend with us, that should be interesting, hopefully I can make it through... this is going to be a long weekend! Practice I guess.
I have to clean my house before they get here so they can mess it up differently... haha, I'm just kidding. Though I like my house to look nice before company comes over, even family company. Funny thing though... it's a lie! That's not what my house looks like always. I mean, it's not stuff everywhere crazy messy, but it's not spick and span tidy either. Maybe that's something I should think about, why it matters what other people think of my house... or, maybe I should pick up more often... :) We shall see which prevails! Off to clean :)
