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.

This is my blog, I'll share if I want to...


It's hard out here for a blogger... Lately, I have caught a little flack because of information contained in this blog from a variety of sources. I have been accused of revealing too much, revealing too little, revealing the “wrong types of things”. I have even been asked, “what exactly did happen in San Francisco?!”

I am sure that the messengers thought their comments would dissuade me. However, the biggest compliment that you can pay a writer is to read her work. All I could think was, "Geez, are people really interested enough in what I write to get upset about it?!" I got energized. I got giddy. And, as you can see, I've kept writing.

So, thanks to all of you who come to Chaton's World and enjoy it. Thanks to you who keep coming back, but don't know why. And thanks to you who have given me such "constructive" criticism.

Y'all come back now, ya here! There’s so much more in store!
