putting on hold

April 6, 2011 1:43am CST
okay i will be putting shopping on hold again. we had quite some expenses since march because i was kinda splurging because it was my daughter's birth month. bought her shoes and some toys. and of course we held her birthday party. so anyway, i will have to put a stop to that. i will have to concentrate on working so that will keep my mind off shopping LOL anyway, i am still saving up more money for the second baby. i had been hoping that my online income will go to saving up for the baby but since we still have debts to pay, most of it still goes to paying off our debts. gee. but at least i have income to pay for them. i am still helping my husband because of course his income is just not enough for our expenses no matter how hard he works. but with combined income at least we are better. but we need to make more if we hope to become independent. well, as God wills it...right now, we work and save.

I am in that kind of mode now, putting shopping on hold cause my resources this time is quiet limited. I have money but i think it will not last for the whole month is I go to the supermarket every week. So instead of going to the supermarket once a week, i got there once in every weeks. lol

Hi poshearns and congrats on your first milestone on myLot! Sounds like despite the financial strains currently that you have it sorted it out. Birthdays sure do raise expenses a bit but from the sounds of it you are doing the best you can in balancing it all out. Continue watching all that is spent and weighing out what is necessary at the moment and you will do just fine. Congrats on the second baby, and wish you and your family all the best.
