We have $4 to our name, until we get paid this weekend that is. Bills are the worst, growing up is a pain, and working so hard is exhausting, but the fact that we're doing things the right way, earning every bit of our success on our own is enough to make me happy. I always tell Husband, "I'd live in a box with you if I had to". I'm only 21 years old, Husband is 24 and we own our home, 2 vehicles plus a motorcycle, we have groceries stalked at all times and he's paying off college loans, while I'm still a student. I'd say having $4 in the bank is because we're on the right track, almost all of our bills are paid for the month and we owe no one or no place any money. We're at a better place now than either of our parents were at our age, we'll be where his parents are now in just a few years, which is very comforting. We're both so happy and so blessed already, just a few more years of hard times and hard work and we'll be exactly where we worked so hard to be. No one ever said that the real world was going to be easy, we never even expected it to be. I'm okay, in this moment in time, knowing that we're okay with just that $4 in the bank for this week. I'd like a late I can't have and maybe to go shopping, but I know what's appropriate and I know my boundaries, so for now it's DIY and homemade iced coffee for us. This is all okay by me!
The only thing that would make this all a little better is if Husband and I actually got to see each other today, with him working the day and me working the night, but hey you can't always choose these things, and it makes our moments together even sweeter.
