anxieties bash my mind in; terrorizing my soul like bin laden (but i ain't fallin' down bro)

have been really stressing lately about my/our financial future.

i don't want to wait until it's too late, i'll be 26 next month :/

i just think that i've been blessed in so many ways, that it would be totally irresponsible to ruin my future by not planning. i'm so grateful to have found someone that wants to put up with me for the rest of

i've had people tell me that if they had waited around until the time was right money wise to have children, they would be waiting forever. having a privileged upbringing is nice, but it's not necessary, and it doesn't make a good or a bad child. saving up for a year to do something special makes it all that much more special, because it's not something you could do every day. it's the little things like coloring and building forts out of boxes and blankets that kids really enjoy, not sitting in front of a television playing expensive video games. i have spent nearly no money on clothes for aiden this year because i have coworkers that have boys a year or two older than he is, that he gets hand-me-down and he doesn't know the difference.

i guess what i'm getting at is that, yes, being able to afford a child is great, but being able to buy them the world isn't needed, or in my opinion, even the best thing.

love you pah.
