This is kind of what I’m feeling right now. So far, I’ve got our weekly budget sorted out and most of the time it’s enough for all our expenses. But Jamaine is starting school in a year and that takes our expenses to a whole new level.
We have some savings but I know we need to save even more if we want to send her to the best school. Not to mention that Kalia is going to school immediately after she does.
I told hubby that we need to set more concrete financial goals so we can better prepare. I’m confident that we can reach those goals since we both have jobs and my hubby is one hard worker. But I’m actually aiming for earning more by working smarter.
I’m still working on my personal finances and trying to save whatever I earn with my regular job. Sometimes it’s a bit frustrating when I see all the deductions, especially the humongous tax cut. (As my officemate says more money to launder for the corrupt politicos.) But I always remind myself that at least I have my benefits taken care of and i won’t have to settle for cheap insurance I will forget to pay for.
Good thing I still have my online earnings intact so I have a bit of back-up. I have been very disciplined with saving my Paypal money. Yay! And the earning opps continue to come so I remain thankful. It’s proof that there is more than enough money to go around for everyone, you just have to be open to receive it.
It’s a juggling act on most days: taking care of the hubby, taking care of the kids, managing the household, working at the office, working at home, taking care of myself. Sometimes it’s scary because it feels like when one thing falls the others will follow. But it’s a learning experience every day.
When one ball falls, pick it up and start again. You just have to keep going and trying and working on it. Until one day, you’re juggling like a pro before you know it.
