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.

Just an update of everything

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.
