Literally what I am working on. Toning my muscles, flattening my tummy, gaining more energy up to keep up with a toddler. Taking care of my long curly hair, and using up my makeup before they all frickin expire for goodness sake 😆☺️ I mean we don't buy these things for nothing right?😁😄 So before the year is out majority of my 2 little goals WILL be accomplished for sure. 😎✊🏾💯🤘🏾🥰
The Truth About Money
When I was running after him I was perpetually broke. I rarely spent a dime on myself, and if I did it was for him in a round about way (a personal trainer, aesthetics, etc). He blamed my inability to budget and poor spending habits.
About a year ago, I had an experience that first lifted the veil. If you are interested, you can read about it here. Shortly after that time I cracked down and prioritized saving; I prioritized it even over him because I had realized that I truly was alone.
That was the beginning of the end of his interest in me. After all, what good am I if I am not bankrolling his interests? He severed contact approximately three months ago. I wish I had done it, but unfortunately that wasn’t the way it went.
Since we’ve ceased speaking I have, in addition to saving more money than I have ever had for myself ever, paid off the remainder of my student debt, paid off my maxed out credit card, and taken 10% off what I owe on my line of credit. All the while having a modest social life.
I am not bad with money. He was bad with my money. He is bad.
Perhaps it might be wiser to assume that I know nothing...
