Well in the last couple of weeks my thoughts of my financial future have changed a lot. I am now pushing more towards making sure my child has a better future. I did get the secured credit card, which is going to help me improve my credit score. I will be opening a savings account in the next few weeks so I will have money for when the baby comes, I know how expensive babies can be. I am also looking into many types of assistance online and other money saving ideas. I am finding a lot that is very helpful.
My job is going great. The owner knows that I am pregnant and is always checking on me to ensure that I am doing OK. He has also increased my hours starting next week. I still will only be part time, but 6 hours more a week will help. Since I have quit the other job I have actually been doing a little better financially. I now only spend about $10 a week on gas, and I work at a food place so I save money on eating.
I am scared and excited all at the same time. I do feel that I will be able to provide for my child, I just have to work hard. I will go back to school after the baby is born. I have help from my family, so I will not have to pay for childcare. I am starting to put more money away because I am not only worried about me anymore. I feel as if I have more purpose now, financially and otherwise. I have more to push for. I am going to do everything I can for this baby.
This is my journey as a single mom getting my credit and finances under control. Simple ways of making money and saving money from someone whom has self taught themselves everything and wants to share their journey.
