One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

on
Following Instagram posts can make you feel like other moms are either made of money or have sugar daddies funding their lifestyles. I can assure you. I have neither. There is nobody funneling money into my household except for me. And because I was an economics major and my dad was a banker, I am keenly aware of cash flow, assets and liabilities, and expenditures. Still, sometimes, I forget how expensive life can be. It's not because I lied about having a sugar daddy or have a trust fund.  It is because I am frugal. Indeed, being conscious of expenditures is integrated into my lifestyle.  I know that it is gauche to discuss money and yet, I feel compelled to share some thoughts.

Looking forward to Spring!

Working mom working out on a Spring Day

During the pandemic, when we were all sequestered, my only outlet was connecting with friends, family and followers via social media. I got in the habit of posting something every day as I managed the stress of it all with exercise and social media posts. 

Fortunately, life has relaxed somewhat. Indeed, the stress of homeschooling has been replaced with the stress of transporting children to school and various activities. And the ease of my morning workouts has been replaced by the pressures of appearing in the office. 

Still, I rise...

I also look forward to the day when these frigid temperatures subside and are replaced with the warm, balmy days of Spring. Until they are, this photo will help me remember!
