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.

Overcoming Hardship...

Our family

I find it hard to write when I can't tell the whole truth it's the curse of having an honest mind I guess. As the words have been wrestling in my head and I've had thoughts and emotions behind them, I know this.  

I have been absent for a while because I have been processing life since my kids and I were in a motor vehicle collision. I was reluctant to share that the accident occurred in this forum  because I was embarrassed. The embarrassment was because the accident happened regardless of fault. I generally pride myself on being able to control my life and the accident was a reminder about how vulnerable I actually am. I needed time to regain my confidence so that I can share what life has taught me in this forum. Here is one thing that I have learned.

Despite what I've endured, overcome and experienced. I. Am. Blessed.
