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!

    Moving is one of life’s great stressors, but losing access to your crypto wallet during the chaos? That’s next-level stress. Picture this: I had just moved into a new apartment, ready to start fresh, and during the madness of unpacking, I somehow misplaced my hardware wallet containing a staggering $480,000 in Bitcoin. Yes, you read that right—$480,000! It felt like losing a winning lottery ticket in a sea of boxes.
    In a panic, I began tearing through every box, drawer, and closet like a contestant on a home improvement show, only to come up empty-handed. “It has to be here somewhere!” I muttered to myself, desperately rifling through bubble wrap and crumpled packing paper. I was convinced my wallet had sprouted legs and decided to go on an adventure of its own. After a few sleepless nights filled with nightmares of lost funds and dwindling hopes, I knew I needed help.
    That’s when I called Digital Hack Recovery. I figured if anyone could help me locate my missing wallet, it was them. Their reputation for expertise in wallet recovery was my only glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. As I explained my predicament complete with an embarrassing recount of my moving blunders—their team remained unfazed by my moving mishap. They assured me that they had dealt with all sorts of wallet dilemmas, from the absurd to the downright tragic. I felt a wave of relief wash over me.
    Their team immediately got to work on the case, employing their advanced forensic tools to dive into the digital depths of my lost wallet’s information. As the hours passed, I paced around my new apartment, trying to focus on anything other than the sinking feeling in my stomach. Would they be able to recover my funds, or was I destined to wallow in my own packing misfortune?
    To my sheer astonishment, it didn’t take long for them to work their magic. In no time at all, they had recovered my wallet’s information and confirmed that my $480,000 was safe and sound! I felt like I’d been handed a lifeline amidst the turmoil of my move.
    Now, I label everything during moves including my wallet! If you ever find yourself in a similarly stressful situation, I can’t recommend Digital Hack Recovery enough . They turned my moving disaster into a success story, saving my sanity and my life savings in the process! For quick assistance talk to Digital Hack Recovery through⁚

    Contacting a recovery agent would probably be more of a lame joke to me than an advice a couple of months back before I made a slip and lost $590,300 in the sad process unfortunately. All options came down to contacting a recovery agent and I did. I got details about GENUINE HACKERS from my long hours of surfing the web. I saw a post about him on reddit and I decided to give it a shot since I didn’t have any other option and nothing more to lose at this point. I immediately contacted him and that’s the best decision I’ve made. I would have lost all my retirement benefits to these fraudsters. He got the money back swiftly, it was barely a challenge to him. His work is top notch and I’ll recommend him to everyone, I have introduced a couple of my other friends to him too. you can contact him on GENUINEHACKERS000@GMAIL.COM or WhatsApp +1 (260) 218-3592.

    How I Recovered $43,000 Lost to Scammers: A Life-Saving Experience with Rapid Digital Recovery

    It’s devastating to lose a significant amount of money, especially when it’s your life savings. Recently, I was scammed out of $43,000, money that I had invested with what seemed like a trustworthy company.

However, things quickly took a turn for the worse when they froze my account without offering any help, even after I provided all the information they asked for. I was left feeling helpless and devastated, as this was my future savings, the money I had worked so hard for. The weight of the situation became unbearable. The worry and stress took a toll on my mental health, and I began to feel as though there was no way out. I became so consumed by inner pain that I honestly didn’t know how to go on.
