Today I had been thinking back on the past few months for my family. Lately I've been organizing our bills vs income with all the extra costs of our living. Now being out on our own, it is safe to simply say, we are broke. lol Our budget has tightened significantly. But doing the math of it all, our debt/bill to income ratio is in fact in our favor favorably. One bill I would say it kind of a bit much and was not prepared for is gas. Not "heat" gas, but car gas. We've had the Trailblazer for quite some time now and it's been really good us. But then we picked up an Escalade and that damn tank is real hungry. It really makes me miss my little Fusion. The escalade is great. I love how big it is and we all sit and fit comfortably in it. Anyway...
My point, after me thinking about my family is looking back on living in the guest house. It was such a blessing to us. We were real comfortable there. Now thinking about the pros and cons of both living situations, it's safe to say, this is life.
I think back and wonder why I would have walked away from such great blessings. But I've also walked into great blessings.
This is what I've learned....
Making the choice that I did, considering where we are financially. I have had to force my family to fall in order to succeed.
I've never really thought of life this way. I've understood that trials come and we conquer them as they come, but I've simply prepared our family to fail knowingly just so we can fight to succeed.
With us currently at our low financial point, I can't wait to see where the next few months lead us.
I have a good feeling about 2017. I just do.
Here's to ending on a good note, yes it is still a good note for 2016.
