Tired

[paint2bme]

I'm tires of just making ends meet. I'm so very unimpressed with the idea that I haven't gotten a raise in over 3years. I work hard and do my job well. I can barely afford to pay what little I do to contribute to my family. I pay my student loans and for daycare. That's it. I bought groceries this week and now can't afford daycare this week.

I feel the same way. We bought a house with a mortgage lower than our rent was and we have a well, so no water bill, but some how I feel like we're just squeaking by. Actually we were both a bit nervous after the kitten's vet bills hit us and we're just catching back up now. Granted the new house is part of the reason we're not where I'd call "safe" we did over do the renovations a bit... (Now I feel guilty...) still, I keep looking forward and I'm just having trouble seeing the end of it all, when the credit cards are paid off, the checking account has plenty in it and we're saving again. I hate being in that PLACE. I like being where I can mentally "see" the end of something, like my credit card being paid off, or when we'll be done with the renovations, or when we've got the mortgage paid off. I can't really see any of it and it scares me. Heather also took a bit of a pay cut to get her Fridays off again so she can paint (her work used to go from Mon-Thurs but they bumped it up a day with no pay raise). It didn't seem like it would

I know what you mean paul. It's hard but for some reason through it all you plug along. I like to think it will be all hard work towards the better goal in life. I hope so at least!
Karma is always out there too. Haha :)
