I started this about 3 months ago...
...and finally finished 2 days ago.
MORE FREEDOM comes with adulthood
BUT
so does MORE RESPONSIBILITY!!
Right now I am sitting on this couch trying to relax, blog, and watch a movie...but every few seconds my mind becomes inturrupted as questions/decisions with these so called adult responsibilties flood in. I have discovered a common factor and if made more abundantly...could solve all my problems and ease my mind. MONEY. That's it. MONEY. I mean...why couldn't it grow on trees? It is made with paper which comes from trees AND money and leaves are both green. But sadly, this is impossible and here I sit. I now understand 1/1000 of the stress my dad would carry on his shoulders as he worked day in and day out to build a business which has been able to provide for his family. I have been working for almost 10 months. It took me a few months before I stopped living pay check to pay check. Within the last couple of months I have been able to save a little. Just as I thought I was starting to become financially stable...work slows down. Let me break this down...
LESS SICK BABIES = LESS NEED FOR NURSES = CALL OFFS = LESS SHIFTS = LESS $$$
LESS $$$ = DECREASE IN SAVINGS TO PAY BILLS = MEGAN :(
I was talking with my dad the other day and asked if it is bad that I have been praying to work which means sick babies. His response...It's better than praying for death. Thank you Dad for the good laugh.
...what I am getting at...
Loving my Job came Easily
but
Loving the Bills did Not
I am grateful I have wonderful parents who have taught me to save and be financially minded
but
sometimes desire the past when it was 10 cents per dead fly and a smile to cover the rest.
Oh the good old days
