It's all about the money Honey!

Posted on September 11 2016


I hate money. I mean, I love it, I get awesome things with it, but I hate it all the same.

No matter how much we seem to have, it disappears quicker than my daughter when I tell her to clean her room.

Bills, fees, food (aargh FOOD), school shoes. Birthday presents, cars. Did I mention food?

We seem to spend a RIDICULOUS amount of money per week on food. No matter how much I meal plan, write lists and try to be organised, I can never seem to set a budget and stick to it.

My bank statement looks a little like this:

1/9 Woolworths Laurimar $219.50
2/9 Woolworths Laurimar $25.34
3/9 Woolworths Laurimar $12.10
3/9 Woolworths Laurimar $9.20
4/9 Woolworths Laurimar $17.21
4/9 Bakers Delight $8.20
5/9 Woolworths Laurimar $23.98
6/9 McDonalds Doreen $48.90
7/9 Starfish Seafood Whittlesea $42.50

You get my drift. You see what I'm doing there. I'm a completely ineffective and incompetent shopper. With absolutely no restraint or willpower.

The first amount is my 'weekly' shop. This is where I get all my school snacks, fruit, veggies etc. I try to buy stuff that we can have for tea. I almost always fail miserably at that.

The subsequent amounts are the daily trips for the things I have forgotten and need but don't really need. The last two are when I can't be effed cooking, so I tell myself I deserve a break. Meanwhile I've dropped a hundred bucks on sh*t greasy food that makes my body heavy and my wallet light.

I wish I was more frugal. More of a saver. An organised, monetary genius that can budget for my family of five, feed them, provide for them, and have money left over for luxurious family holidays, but I'm not. I'm seriously f*cking it up, and I need help.

I'm not always a flippant spender, in fact the more I have I'm less inclined to spend it. If I have a few grand sitting there, I don't want to touch it. I want to nurture it, watch it grow like a plant. I want to keep it there for emergencies, like rego.

BUT - if that amount does happen to dwindle, I'm like, well bugger it, it's going anyway, may as well buy something. If I have $40 bucks left in my account and I'm in Kmart, I'm going to spend $39.95 on stuff, because why the hell shouldn't I.

I know that makes no sense. I know that it's irresponsible. My relationship with money is one that needs some serious therapy.

I'm bad at paying bills on time. Even though I pay them weekly by direct debit, they almost always seem to be more than what I pay. I get reminder notices in the mail. I don't open them. I stuff them under the seat of my car or throw them straight in the coonara. I do eventually pay them. I'm not a criminal, but I don't like the glaring, paper reminder of debt.

As much as I like to have nice things, I'm not a 'brand' person. I don't care if my shoes are Converse or Kmart. I don't give a toss if my bag is leather or pleather. Come to my house for tea, your tomato sauce will be Homebrand, as will your peas.

I refuse to 'Keep up with the Joneses' when it comes to stuff. My house is old, my car is old, I don't feel the need to have 'stuff' because everyone else does. I don't care what everyone else does, if that makes you happy, that's grouse! Good for you! But how the bloody hell do you afford it?

I'm not wasting our money on luxuries. I'm literally existing on it. My husband earns good money. Obviously I'm not going to tell you how much, but it's good. Enough that I don't really need to work. It's too much to get any Centrelink, but not enough to be financially free. Well it probably is actually, but I'm doing it wrong.

Maybe me working is the difference between a holiday on the beaches of Torquay v the beaches of Fiji. Is Fiji going to make me happier than Torquay? I don't think so. I don't know because I've never done it. I suspect in my case, that my habits are psychological rather than environmental. That even if I did have an endless supply of cash, that I wouldn't really change a thing. I love Torquay.

I dunno, I just don't know. Once again I've written a rambling, incoherent post that you are probably finding hard to follow. I apologise for that, but my frustration is real.

What I would like to hear from you dear friends, is how you do it. Tell me your systems. How you prioritise your funds. What you do with your spare money - if there even is such a thing. I understand that we are living amongst a vastly different socioeconomic society. I know some of my friends have sh*tloads of money, some don't have much at all. I want to hear from you. How do you manage? Do you live on credit? Concentrate on having fun and creating memories and worry about paying it back later?Do you just make ends meet every week and then gear up for the next week and pay for what you must?

I really want to know! Help a sister out!

    Being naturally sceptical, I never thought that money lost to con artists and their Ponzi schemes could really be found and recovered. I cried out to the Capitalix organisation to stick to our original conditions and give me my money back, but they refused. They like to claim that I have to pay a fee each time I try to withdraw my money, but I believe it’s just a ruse to keep me from getting the money they want by telling me new lies and taking advantage of my desperation until they wear me out. Things moved quickly as soon as I involved WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY. Compared to what I experienced when I attempted to handle the Capitalix group on my own, it was like night and day. Engage the experts; the risk is worthwhile. These are the greatest dudes ever. It is impossible for you to fight fraudulent investment cases like this because of our lack of expertise in this field. Even if you are correct, if you refuse to pay, they will hang your assets and destroy your financial future. Furthermore, nobody is interested in “why” it was ruined—they only want to hear your tale and then point the finger at you for making an effort to change your life. What then do you do? The irony is in the fact that you continue to provide money to the scammers even if you don’t agree with the accusations in order for them to release your money—you never get compensated, you just end up ruining yourself further. After battling this problem for over a year, I finally told myself the truth—that I had been duped—and reported my case to WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY in hopes that they would step in and assist me in regaining possession of my belongings before it was too late. My money moved from being pending to being available in my Coinbase wallet in less than 72 hours after the recovery process was started and quickly completed. Total turnaround. Wizard James rectified in 72 hours what took me a year of work and still had no resolution. I’ve been beating myself up for not asking for assistance sooner, but I just didn’t think it was possible. However they did. Reach out to them today on any of their available support channels to get help,

    The marital crisis I was going through came to and end when Dr Isikolo got involved. Just like every other couples out there, we had our differences and I ensure I did my best to lead her right, provide for her and my kids and also protected them. We both made sacrifices to ensure we survived the union until she started acting up and deliberately had so many fights with me. The home became unpleasant for everyone else including my children. She was being manipulated by a friend who had been divorced and wanted to also ruin my marriage. I had to contact Dr Isikolo and he responded and did his best to end the issues.  He restored the love and connection between us and I can tell now that whatever illusion my wife was under has been taking away and she is a better woman now. The result of what Dr Isikolo did for me that manifested after two days was what amazed me. I and my household remain grateful.  I appeal to anyone who needs help to fix their relationships and marital problems to contact Dr Isikolo because the solution is sure. Text him on WhatsApp via +2348133261196 or review his webpage (https://isikolo-temple.com)

  • Cheng Seaphan: August 25, 2024

    Hello everyone, I am really grateful to God for leading my way to meet Doctor Odunga who gave me the winning numbers to the Powerball lottery to win $1.3 Billion Dollars. My name is Cheng Saephan, I am 46 years old and I have been diagnosed with Cancer for over 8 years now. I live in Portland, Oregon. My wife Duanpen has done everything she can to cure me of this illness until a friend of hers Laiza Chao introduced Doctor Odunga to her that he can cure all types of illness. My wife told me about this man and I didn’t say much but thank God she did contact him through his email. I quickly learned that this man can also make people win the lottery and I just couldn’t resist asking him first to do a lottery spell for me because I have been playing the lottery almost everyday since I can remember. It didn’t take time at all when this man gave me the winning numbers for the Powerball and I played it and won the Powerball Jackpot of $1.3 Billion Dollars. This man blessed my family and also cured me of Cancer. Thank You Doctor Odunga. I have testified about your work sir and hope to bring serious ones to you for help too. Contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and also Whats-app +2348167159012

    Navigating the online landscape can sometimes feel like trekking through a treacherous wilderness with no sense of direction .Lately, I found myself trapped in a web of deceit spun by a group of fraudsters and fakes online, rendering me helpless and devastated.
    However, amidst the chaos, I stumbled upon a beacon of hope – a very small and private agency with a waiting list, @divisionofrecovery would become my saving grace. From the moment I reached out to them, i was met with professionalism and more importantly empathy. They listened attentively as I recounted my harrowing ordeal, offering reassurance and guidance every step of the way. It took us only 18 hours to recover my entire pension which i initially lost. Their impact extended far beyond mere financial restitution. In the midst of despair, they provided a beacon of light, restoring my faith in humanity and reaffirming that goodness still exists in this digital wilderness. Their unwavering dedication to their clients is nothing short of commendable, and I am eternally grateful for their invaluable assistance. Just as i promised ,i will always give reviews about them if i see a chance to, just incase there is anyone who is going through such situation like i did, below is there lines of communication.
