I Have Never Been More Motivated on My Financial Future

It is so funny how becoming pregnant has changed my thought pattern in a lot of ways. Instead of only thinking about me, I have another person to think about. I may even have two other people to think about if it turns out that I am having twins. (I will find out in a few weeks) Now I see why so many moms work there behinds off. I want to be one of those moms that work hard and can provide for there children.

I have never been so focused on making more of an income, and getting all of my finances in order. Everything has been crossing my mind; unpaid maternity leave, possibility of having to take maternity leave early, planning for the future of the baby(babies) and so much more. I am trying to plan for the harder alternatives so I can hopefully be better prepared when  thinks actually work out well. I guess its those motherly instincts that everyone has been telling me about.

School is still in my future. I have to pay $700 to a school that I went to a few years ago so I can get my transcript, and then I will be applying to attend the community college in my area. Planning for this will help my babies future, as well as my own. I just know that the next few years is going to be a struggle, but it is going to be well worth it when it is all said and done. I will be going to school to get my degree in applied science. I am wanting to get into real estate. I have wanted this for years and I am now focused on getting it done.

To prepare for everything I am pushing to earn more online so I will have an income coming in just in case my maternity leave comes early, and because my maternity leave is unpaid. The income will also help with so much more in my life. I have decided to put more of a schedule together, and just have more focus. I know that everything is going to work out, it is just going to take focus and determination from me.

Life!

Well I have been working both jobs for a few weeks and things was going good. I found out the other day that I will have to give up one of the jobs due to the hours changing, and it would be a conflict. That was fine with me, and then life sneaks up on me again. I am pregnant.

I had been trying for years to have a baby, and God chose now for me to get pregnant. It is my ex's baby, but he wants no involvement in the situation. At this point I am so thankful for my supportive family, but I have got to figure out what i am going to do financially. It is one thing to take care of myself, but a complete other to care for a child too. I am not stressing about it because I believe that God had this in his plan, and it will all work out. I am thankful for the baby and I hope I can provide it with everything I possibly can.
