I'm waiting

I am very blessed. I live a very comfortable life. I shouldn't complain about anything. But let me just express my FRUSTRATION real quick. I have a very specific list of things to buy to beautify our home. I could go to the store and buy them right now. I know what I want and I know how much each item is. But I cannot get them right now because our money was spent elsewhere this month. We had to spend $500 for a year's treatment of pest control (those dang ants!) and then another $480 on four new tires for our van. So I need to wait. Ok, I realize I am seriously being tested on patience right now. Ok, ok. I will wait!

And again, I know I am blessed. I shouldn't complain.

Ouch..that's a lot of money in a month. Maybe next month will be better. Good luck

I'll complain with you. We had to get new tires too. I'd rather buy about anything besides tires!!!!!

I totally know what you mean - $300 on new glasses (granted, those were for me, but come on - $300 for something I can't live without - literally - still doesn't help the fact that we can't spend in other areas as a result.) is not easy on the month-to-month existence we live around here.

That sounds like our bills. We seem to always have less money to do fun things lately.

Don't you hate it when you have to spend money on things that you really don't want to like the 1,100.00 on care repairs we needed when we thought it would be more like 300.00 bummer

Not only do you have to wait for your baby, you also have to wait for decorations! Gosh, this is testing time all right.

My mil sent this to me and I know it is hard to be patient, but it is a blessing to know how to use money.

I just didn't buy a couch because we decided to WAIT. I don't want debt and am being patient. I can't stand my couch, but want one that will last. I just keep saving.
