One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

Following Instagram posts can make you feel like other moms are either made of money or have sugar daddies funding their lifestyles. I can assure you. I have neither. There is nobody funneling money into my household except for me. And because I was an economics major and my dad was a banker, I am keenly aware of cash flow, assets and liabilities, and expenditures. Still, sometimes, I forget how expensive life can be. It's not because I lied about having a sugar daddy or have a trust fund.  It is because I am frugal. Indeed, being conscious of expenditures is integrated into my lifestyle.  I know that it is gauche to discuss money and yet, I feel compelled to share some thoughts.

Random thoughts of indulgence...


There is something about White Cheddar Cheese Popcorn that makes me want to eat the entire bag. I could blame it on the manufacturer. I could blame it on a hard day’s work. I could blame it on any number of things. However, the truth is, I love white cheddar cheese because it doesn’t stain my braces. And, I love popcorn because it’s low fat. That love makes me eat more and more until I fill my stomach to capacity. Whatever low fat benefits exist are cancelled out by the quantities that I consume.

Today is Thanksgiving, which means that I will be eating more than I usually do. I am looking forward to it too. YUM!

I’ll be good tomorrow... :-)
