budget????
The other night I was sitting down with my mom researching potential apartments and places to live in West Des Moines. If it wasn't already stressfull enough, she brought up the one word I had never really even begun to think about, BUDGET. We had to sit down and make a list of all the necessary things I will need to set aside money for from my paycheck: rent, utulities, gas, groceries, toiletries, the list goes on and on. Those little things that was always given to me are now all on me. I was so excited when I first started to figure out what I will take hom each month, but as I started to subtract all the necessary costs, it was depressing. Haha I know that I won't be saving much to begin with, but I think it will be a great feeling to know that I am fully supporting myself, paying for my housing, my food, my gas, etc. The days till graduation and my big more are slowly approaching. Time to buckle down these last two months and make the best, but also focus on what's coming ahead.

Worst part about growing up. I pay for a lot of that on my own right now, unfortunately. Good luck, Sarah! I'm sure you will love this job regardless of the bills!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know what you mean. But you will be fine, you have the drive to succeed. The only thing you will be missing is Cummins Family Restaurant.
ReplyDeleteAh, budgets. They can be tough to live with, but the consequence of living without them are even worse. Good luck as you figure it all out. I don't miss those days.
ReplyDeleteAnd kudos to Ron for finding yet another way to work in Cummins.
my mom and I did the same thing not too long ago.. That's why I'm such a bargain shopper with quality taste: I know that even if I have 30 bucks to spare each month, I'll use it wisely ;) you'll do the same i'm suureee!
