One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

on
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.

October Means "Stuff" Gets Real for Working Moms!

on
Enjoying the last days of September


I read something on Instagram that said that September lasted like two days. It totally felt that way. September is a transitionary period. However, October has entirely different expectations. In September you can be all like, "School just started that's why I'm a wreck" and you'll receive forgiveness and understanding. In October, people expect you to have the school thing figured out. 

You see the judgement in their eyes. It says, "You're late again?! Get an m'fing Outlook calendar and get with the program!"

So, for you mamas who have been coasting and basking in the grace of other people's understanding. I am here to tell you that you have reached the maximum allotment of it. Now that October is here, folks are collecting receipts and they will be presented to you if you forget that you were supposed to bring that "special snack" for the classroom.

If you don't want to be judged, take my advice. Get your s--t together in October! :-)
