Starter note: Yoplait lowfat yogi (blackberry pomegranate) with a little granola is heaven!
One of my favorite bloggers left me a little comment last night! TOTALLY made my morning!!! She reminded me to stick to my monthly expenses and goal list, and really helped to get my mind back to the places I really want it to be.
Yesterday was tough! I had no idea I'd cry every time I got in my car or saw my sis (ha)! I like to think I am a very strong person, I kept telling myself just keep yourself busy, focus on the wedding, and pray. I knew everything would be ok but, coming home and being in a crowded world without the one I love ended up being a lot harsher reality than I thought it would be. I still know everything is going to be ok. It's the fact that he is REALLY leaving that's just starting to hit me...
SO! Thank you Krystalatwork for all your support! You really helped remind me of the things I NEED to focus on right now.
When it comes to my monthly goals and expenses list... I've definetly been slackin a bit. BUT starting TODAY I'm going to live by my goals! I'm taping them to my desk at work and to my bathroom mirror at home! I'll let you know where I'm at by the end of the month... Wish me luck!
xoxo!

Love you friend! You know im here for you anytime!..... stick to it ;) !!!!!
You know what was one of the main reasons why I was drawn to personal finance?
With all the crap that happens in our lives, and things that are out of our control, money is something we can directly affect and directly change.
When you make a change in the way you handle your money, you get to see the results. Debt goes down, net worth goes up, stress is lifted. Most of the variables are dependent on you and your decisions. Where as something else (a loved one going away, for example) is something you don't have control over.
I like feeling I'm in control of my life in some way, even if everything around me seems scary. That's why personal finance works for me. I feel good knowing that I'm changing for the better and that I have control over what I can accomplish.
Maybe it doesn't make sense. Maybe I'm just babbling. :)
