It's time.
We've crunched the numbers, and it's time.
Frivolous spenders, we will be no more!
Not that we were frivolous spenders, but the little frivolity we had has now vanished. I have an internship, he has a job, we bought a dog, and we have our next apartment, but we're not sure how all of this is going to work out financially. As I've said in previous posts, we're getting ready to dive into the world of grown-ups.
We're cutting as much out of other funds as possible to make sure there's food on the table, even if it ends up being ramen noodles every night. Lyndon won't be able to be as involved on the paintball team as much as we had hoped. The envelope for "homey" things will remain empty and dry for the next several months.
Money problems have always scared me. Finances when I was younger were never secure, so I was always scared, always worried that there would be enough every month. Getting married offered me a breath of fresh air. I thought I would never be scared when it came to money situations again. We thought we had our lives for the next few years figured out. We weren't holding too high of expectations to realistically stick to; instead, we had a logical and realistic view on what our financial situation would be like.
It turned out that even that view was a little high-reaching. Our plans have been postponed for various reasons, and that has hurt us. We have some interesting months to look forward to in the all-too-near future.
Time to re-focus that trusting in God thing.
