#MoneyMonday


I'm bad with money. I understand the value of saving it and all that. I understand the need to steward it well so we can pay our bills and feed our children and all that. I do, I understand. But I'm really bad with it nonetheless. It's a thorn in the side of my marriage. And after 22 years of marriage my hub and I have come to a place where I try - I fail - and I try again. And he does his best to juggle it all. It's not ideal - y'all don't need to tell me that.

So for me to enter into the topic of money is a bit laughable but it's my attempt to try (see above cycle I mention *grin*). Here's what I do believe about money for sure - it's a balancing act. To have money and to hoard it is just as bad as spending it all and having none for necessities. There's a balance to be lived.  Out of balance means you are controlled by money rather than being in control of it yourself.

How do you think about money? (Rhetorical question - you don't have to answer me just be honest with yourself. *wink*)

And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by to pa
