Where do you go to get help? How do you find the answers? What do you do when you want to change and you just do not know where to start? These are the questions of the day. From financial help, to help with weight loss, to help managing your time- where do we turn. I am so tired of google-ing my questions and reading blog, after blog, after blog, trying to find the answers that everyone else seems to have. Why is everything so difficult? Why can't it just be easy? I do not know where to turn. I can't seem to get ahead with my finances. Shit, half the time I can not afford to pay my bills. I have a spiral notebook that I create a budget every 2 weeks. But the main problem is- I do not follow it. If I followed it to the "t" we could scrape by, but we are the epitome of living "paycheck to paycheck." And half of the time we are living paycheck to 2 paychecks away. I just need some help getting caught up, I need help figuring out where I can make cuts, and yet still have a semi-normal life. We do not go out, we do not drink, I mean we are "home-bodies." But yet we struggle. Where can I get help? I have no idea.
Then weight loss- I have tried it all, but then it leads up to the fact that I cannot afford to buy all healthy items. We are living cheap, I mean pastas, pizza, and hot dogs. The cheapest meals you can think of. So what do I do to lose weight. On top of that- where do I have the time? I get up at 5:45am, I get ready for work, I get the baby ready for daycare, I get my daughter up and out the door for the bus. I am out the door at 7am, I drop off the baby, and I go to work. I am at work till 5pm, I pick up the baby we are home by 6pm. We unpack the daily use bags, we start dinner, feed the baby, clean the kitchen, give the baby a bath, and then get him to bed usually between 8-9pm. Then I take my shower, put on a load of laundry, and start my homework so I am to bed usually around 11pm. And that is an easy night- when I do not have to stop for gas, or stop at the grocery store.
And that leads to the time management- who has the time to even figure out how to manage their time? I know I don't.
Why does everything have to be so fricken hard?? How do we get through it? And when do we get a break? I guess we will get a break when we figure out how to give ourselves one....
