Have you ever noticed there never seems to be enough money for the things you need let alone the things you want. For whatever reason if I make plans to do anything or go anywhere, I must always plan at least a year in advance because if I don't I always seem to be short on funds. It is not that I don't save, it is just that there is barely enough to pay the current bills. Just as I was about to poke my nose out from the financial ocean that constantly swirls about 2 feet over my head, I found our car in desperate need of repairs.
Between brakes, some intake valve, tires, lights, a tune up and an oil change, we are drained of any savings we had and our vacation pay is gone too. But, on the lighter side, we have a safe, secure well running car.
No, I didn't have any wild travel plans, but that money was supposed to go to a trip we had planned this October to visit family and friends in Ontario. Now, the great saving journey begins again. We are hoping to bank at least 50 dollars weekly until the end of June 2009 so as to have a good holiday in July. I have to buy a few Christmas gifts and a mother of the bride dress but the dress can wait till next spring when I have lost weight. Hopefully nothing to drastic comes into play before then.
I swear to god we could have a bank roll of $100,00.00 and it would not be enough. Any time I try to save it is as if a monster comes along and gobbles it all up in one foul swoop. Hopefully with all this past finacial worry behind us we might actually get ahead someday soon. Then, I will be able to say, yes there is enough money. But, until then I can only say, there seems to never be enough money.
