A realization

May 30th, 2012 at 12:59 pm


I came to the realization that I no longer need to blog about money. When I came here I was a mess; no clear plan, a lot more debt than I have now, feeling that I was alone in a boat worrying about our long-term financial success and well-being.

My situation really wasn't that dire, but it felt that way. Over the years I worked on a budget and have definite spending limits. I have a plan B and C for different events. My family has been generous and shared financially with me in many instances.

Things here are on auto-pilot, with money going to retirement and education. My concern about high school tuition has decreased greatly with daughter's scholarships, etc.

That said, I don't feel the need to write about money anymore. Been there? I'm blogging elsewhere about life, and don't feel like tending this garden, too.

I've learned a lot here, and I hope everyone continues to grow and prosper. Smile

    Awwwww. Even just seeing the title, "Love the Life you Live" has been a pleasant little boost. Sorry to see you go.

    I understand. I had a baby blog that I was trying to keep simultaneously, but I realized that child raising is something I prefer to just experience, not blog about. Money is the thing that still needs to be blogged out, for me, but everyone is different.

    If you pop in from time to time, we'll be happy to see you! You have a lot of kindness and wisdom to offer and I get a lot out of both your blog and your comments.

    Congratulations on getting to this point, and I totally see how it could lead to not feeling the need to blog about this topic any more. I hope that you leave the blog up and that it will provide some insurance for other people who are trying to get to where you are now. Good luck in the future!
