Talk about me being a magician? LOL!
Been waiting for my salary, budgeting on it, hoping to save some for the rainy days. Kids tell me mama buy me that,and those...i said yeah sure when i get my salary.
Never even gone dating yesterday Vday because we are zero in our pockets..then just this morning, yehey its here already! Woaaah, almost nothing is left after paying all the bills, the people i owe money too. And i wasn't able to go to the salon to somehow fix this hair. Oh well, at least i paid the bills, was able to cook spaghetti for the kids and me, then give some to husband too. Then, i have to wait for my next salary day...many sleepless nights for me before that day comes.
What about you? Are you able to enjoy your earnings too?

When I was still have my job, I do prioritize the needs of the family. Funny thing is, when I did have money, I don't buy things for myself that much. Coz I always worry for not being able to have enough for the needs of the family. My last online job would be sending me my salary only once a month to save from bank charges. And so I really keep myself on a tight budget all the time.

we really tend to forget ourselves when we have our family right?

Yes. Coz I already feel guilty not being able to give my kids the kind of life I grew up with. So I just owe them everything that they need .

yes that is true that we will work for two weeks for that salary and when pay day it will only fly to our hand and will disappear,and it usually happen to those who already have family because they need it for their expenses.that is why i since i am a single i should keep and save money as long as i can.

good for you but when i was single back then, all i can think of is splurging it all as fast as i can.

Most of the time we are like that. Well, no it will not be like that forever. I can say that my 2012 is the year that I spent the most and got lots of debt and until now I am still paying for those. But hopefully, everything will be fine by the middle of the year.
If my plan would work, then perhaps I could be able to save enough amount for my dream hhrrm and probably have it before the end of next year, he he. This is my dream ever since but because I have to prioritize the needs of my family and my children especially that is why I was not able to buy the things that I want.
Have a nice day!

i am afraid of debts that is why i pay off most of them when i have the money on hand. Whatever you dream of then good luck on that hope it will come true this year and at the same time payoff all your debts.

When I was still single and just started working, I feel like my salary will just pass by my hands and onto the bills I have to settle. All I have left is my allowance until the following payday. Whatever I saved from it will be my only splurge fund and more often than not I even have to borrow some money from my folks to tide me over.

hehehee...when i was still single when payday comes i really am like a one day millionaire, i treat my co-workers to pizza and they are all so happy but when i got nothing left to spend, i go to my parents to let me borrow.
But now, things are really different, even a trip to salon, i have to contemplate on it, its like a luxury for me now, i have to get the kids first, their needs before mine...and bills too.

Hi there ! I am happy to know that your salary been there already , i can imagine your smiling face then. This is really what makes a woman very amazing , her being so selfless . A hard earned money is for everybody in the family and setting aside oneself. A very admirable attribute ! Hope children will notice this and will return back the favor to the mother by being good and doing best in school. Hope also man will realize the goodness that her wife had shown to family and will return the favor by showing respect to the woman.

hoping for the same thing to, and my man to realize it? i wish for that day to come. But actually things have been better these days now that i get to tell him how tired i ma lately, he hired someone to do the laundry so that is one thing off my to do list and then we recently cleaned our room, i complained here in mylot about him not being such a great help when i have to earn and he takes care of th house...now things are a lot better, hope this continues until the kids get a little bigger.
