I am getting to the point where I am starting to worry a little bit. My worry mostly comes about when I am dealing with our finances. Shocking right? I think we all worry about finances at some time or another in our lives.
It feels like things just keep adding up and our savings just keeps slowly dwindling down. And of course, we decided that we needed to get new carpet in most of the house, so that is taking a nice little chunk of our money out of savings. I don't like that feeling.
I have always had a fear of not being able to make ends meet and end up where my parents did my freshman year of college. Losing our home. I know that we just need to start saving a little bit more and we will be fine, but it is a constant fear that I have. It's hard to shake when you have lived through losing your childhood home and everything you thought was safe.
Hubby and I have worked hard to make sure we are living the life that we wanted. I want to start working even harder because now we have to prepare for this little one to enter our lives. I am excited about the new carpet :) I know that it is something we needed to do before the baby arrives. It will be in next Wednesday!
We received an unexpected check in the mail from hubby's life insurance the other day, which was nice because we are going to use that toward baby furniture. We also have been saving up our change and are going to put that toward the furniture also. So, that will be less that will have to come out of our paychecks and/or savings! That makes me really happy.
Now, if I can just start giving my hubby an allowance every week, we might be able to save a little bit more money. You think I can get away with that?? ;)

my hubby gets paid every 2 weeks, and gets $100 to buy whatever with. He doesn't stick with it all the time, but it has cut down on some of his stupid buys :)
