This thing called Budgeting

So I have made a commitment to get my finances in order. I have some personal and family goals that I want to accomplish, but man let me tell you.... this is so much harder than I anticipated. I mean to keep track of everything that I spend is SO tedious. I know I know, it's what grown ups do. The song does say 'Mama said they'll be days like this". This thing called Adulting is so overrated. I mean is it really that serious?

I can admit that I have learned so much about myself and my money. We have an emotional relationship. I did not think that it would be so hard to break away from frivolous spending. I did not think that it would be so hard to go without my card and only use cash. I don't even remember when I became addicted to my card. Maybe it's more like an emotional affair. I'm in love with spending and swiping my card and I need my card in my life.

I'm trying to get it together. On the plus side, I do recognize I have a problem. I am NaTyshca and I'm addicted to spending. So now I am going through a Financial Boot camp and I'm coming out a winner. Or will I? Well at least I have Tiffany "The Budgetnista" Aliche to thank! She helped me recognize that I had a problem, and got my life together real quick by providing so many resources to help me and so many others like me. I promise she is not paying me or asked me to write any of this. I just see the results of her advice and my hard work. I am not where I want to be but I sure am not where I was!

As I stated in my last post, I am on an adventure this year and I am so excited for this journey!

Until next time keep it Sweet like Honey!

Another Witty Saturday

Image
My oldest son playing with Photo Booth on my Mac Book So today is Saturday and like all Saturdays, my day starts at the crack of dawn with two little people acting as though the world is going to end because they are "dying from hunger" as my 8 year old says. So I get up as usual and cook breakfast for my little people. This time it was french toast, turkey bacon and eggs. We have turkey bacon and eggs for every breakfast because my husband caught a deal and bought out the whole store. So I try to be creative with this unending supply of poultry. This time my creativity only led me to french toast, but hey everyone was happy so that's all that matters. After breakfast, we start our Saturday cleaning. My 8 year old came up with this "clever" idea to get paid to do his chores...."where they do that at"??? When I was a kid, the only payment we got was not getting popped in the mouth for saying which chore we didn't want to do. After that la...

Living Richer

Image
So as I stated in previous blogs, I'm changing the way I do things. I locked my hair, I'm eating healthier (kind of) and I am changing my perspective. I am trying to live, but man sometimes it gets so hard to motivate myself. I do it all the time but I realized that I can't do this thing by myself. I had to do a self evaluation to see if I had the right people in my circle. I got a good 3 people (not including my husband) who really have my back. Like they really hold me down. These are the ones that I know I can call and let it all hang out and have a no judgment zone. I love that God gave me them. I have two healthy children, even with dealing with the youngest one's hearing loss, we're still good. My husband and I are in a good place. I've been with that man for some years and the older we become, the more I appreciate him, admire him, and love him. We are far from perfect, but we are perfect together. We complement each other and hold one another down. I...

My New Adventure

Image
I am so excited to announce that I am a Freelance Writer!!! Well Besides my personal and inspirational blogs, I am a published writer on a website called logospost.com! I am too geeked..whoop whoop! It's crazy how life has a way of bringing things into perspective. I quit a stressful job. Quitting that job was the best decision I've made. The money was awesome, but it was not worth the stress that came with it. Since quitting my job, I started back with my writing. I am not doing this to get rich, I am doing it because I enjoy it. I was told that if you do what you love, you will never have to work a day in your life. I am not sure where this adventure will take me, but I am so looking forward to this ride!
