So many goals...

August 11th, 2009 at 12:22 am

Some days I find myself getting overwhelmed with all of my financial goals. I know I have to just break it out and take baby steps, but it's so hard.

Right now I'm at the point where we want to seriously consider children. I wrote in the last post about staying home and needing money to cover my lost income for 6 months. I also wrote about the SUV which I got beaten up a little bit for. I understand the SUV (even a used one) is a bit of a luxury so I agree it isn't necessary at this time, but the 7-8k to cover expenses is. For some reason paying off that much in debt is do-able for me. Once I put money on a debt I know I'm not getting it back and I see immediate results when the balance goes down. For some reason I don't feel that way with money saved so I know it's going to be harder to build this fund up. I know I know, it's all mental. I'm' sure as soon as I find out I'm pregnant I'll be more motivated to save, but at the moment I know I'm not so it sorta feels like this thing that may happen in the future and I'm not as dedicated. We'll see..I'll keep you updated on the progress!

    i am sorry if you felt you were being beat up about wanting an suv. the beauty of this little community is that we all see things differently, and we get a lot of different opinions. you have to learn to take what you need and shake off the rest. i really don't believe anyone was trying to make you feel bad; simply trying to inform you that there are other options to consider. if you want an suv, no one's going to stop you from getting one, but your reasons were what made people say their thoughts.

    People here tend to be very frank about their thoughts. Which is great in a lot of ways, but it can take some getting used to. I don't think anyone meant to make you feel beaten up. I noticed with the blogs and the forum, the SA community has become a sort of odd family. Smile
