Money Talk

I'm stressed about finances.

It's three minutes to midnight on a Monday, and I'm wired.

How does one cover the cost of two. Half my income goes to rent, and the other half has to pay phone/internet bill, vehicle (gas, repairs, insurance), monthly payments on debt, AND cover basic needs like food, and sometimes clothing (i wrecked two shirts in the last week that I need for work for instance).... ???

I just changed jobs which was going to be a blessing - BUT the transition has left us in a bit of a pickle with paychecks. (thankfully the vacation pay went straight to my husbands 'red' balance on his account and brought him back to a zero/blue balance)... BUT I still have to pay rent and get groceries for us for the next three weeks...

My husband is 'searching' for his purpose/path. He has not worked since the end of June... It is now September 1st. I realize that our work ethics are different in that I would probably keep working until I found something else, or at least settle for something part-time at minimum wage to help with the bills if I had too..... (until I found that purpose/path, of course). However, he does not share the same enthusiasm for becoming financially comfortable - and by comfortable I mean to easily live within our means enough that going out for dinner once a month to a regular chain restaurant would not 'break the bank' so to speak.

My dream was to go back to school - become a teacher - teach while my husband goes to school... buy a little house, fix it up, and live a happy little life.... nothing too extravagant.

I no now that that will not happen. :(

So, now its bed time.

Good night all

"Change":

So it's Saturday night, and I feel real old. We're not going out, and probably not going to stay up late... This time last year, we would have at least been out driving around and listening to music until 2 or 3 am.

Incredible how things change. Danny and I are different now, and it's ok :)

Something to think about:

Have you changed in the last 6 months? 12 months? 2 years? 5 years? If so - How? What has changed? Are you pleased with the difference? Is there something in your life know that you which or change?

The First Blog!

Wow, this is really it - eh!? We're blogging!
It's Wednesday night, I'm tired - and I decided to jump onto the bandwagon and start a blog! I am also contemplating twitter.... But that will have to wait until I sleep some :)

Anyway, I will set up my blog - play with the advanced options - maybe create a custom background - and THEN I'll actually blog.

Have a GREAT night all!
