Working mom?
Being a stay at home mom is hard, and frankly it gets boring sometimes. Not that I'm not always busy because there is always something that needs cleaned or a diaper to change or bottles to wash. I'm just not cut out for the life of one income. I will never make my own laundry detergent, I prefer tide which just so happens to be the most expensive and I like dove body wash and not suave and I have to have salon brand shampoo and conditioner because of the length of my hair. I'm not cut out to budget or cut coupons, I just am not able to do it and only buy on sale. I want those 100$ pair of jeans and the 45$ makeup pallet because its name brand and lasts forever and doesn't fade. I'm spoiled with nicer things and living on 24k a year doesn't get you a whole lot of nicer things. My husband tells me how it's impossible to save money with me, I try, I really do but damn I don't want to use drugstore brand tampons or cheap toilet paper. I make 2 trips to the store a month. I make a list and meal plan for everything so we don't buy a whole lot of extra stuff we don't need and my grocery bill for 2 weeks worth of food for 3 people was 260$. Seriously that is ridiculous. That's why I am not cut out for thos stay at home mom coupon life. I am going to school to get a job so we can have two incomes and not have to worry about how much my shampoo costs. If my husband made a lot more than he makes now then it would probably work. Maybe like 50k a year would do lol. I want to buy a house sometime in the nearer future and maybe have another baby but I want to be more financially stable! All in all I just can't wait to start school and be finished. I don't want to miss my baby all day but sometimes you have to make sacrifices!
