If the economy is going up, then why are we strugging to make ends meet? They say everyone is getting richer, but I beg to differ. Oh wow..that was a really bad rhyme there...geez, I can't even spell! Oh well. I need a job, but I've gone over this before so why bother boring myself with the ever consistant details. A vicious cycle, truly. I know there are legitimate work at home jobs out there. I know it. BUt you have to pay 60 bucks for the book that tells you where they are...then again, is the book even legit?
Truth? Of course, everyone wants the truth. We could live fine on Jesse's income. He makes a good amount for 3 people to live on. It's the needless spending we do that makes it difficult. A little eating out here, a little outfit there, maybe just this little piece of software that costs $20. It adds up. It really does. I'd like to say it's all him. That I don't go anywhere and spend anything. My days are filled with staying home and watching the baby. I only buy gas and maybe the occasional clearance item every once in a while. While my spendings are significantly less then him, they are still needless. If we could just get a budget! If I could create a working one that we could stick to for 3 monthes! We could get hold of the finances and pay off that stupid credit card. It sounds to east. So simple. So why can't we do it?
Why can't we?
Should I try again? I've already tried 2 or 3 times. I can't even keep to it myself. It's a matter of will. I guess mine needs practice. I'll do it. Create a budget. Maybe then we could start saving for our daughters future. College will probably cost an arm and leg and then some by the time she gets there....but I smile anyway. Why? Who know? Just because.
