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.

NYC


I'm in NYC this weekend, viewing the city, visiting with friends and family, and taking it all in.

It's been written about so much because it is true. There is no where like NYC. We left Manhattan and within thirty minutes, English had become a foreign language. We were in the Bronx and Spanish was all around. We even stopped in a bodega to get directions only to find out that the store worker spoke limited English. Go figure?!

In any event, I will have much more to update later. I am off to dine and party. I do enjoy living in Pittsburgh, but there's no place like New York!!!
