oh crap

Hi and Welcome to Kylie's life

Well today is going to be a warts and all post, as you know we moved across the country, now we took a hug financial hit doing that. You see I don't have a job  yet and my Hubby is having to cover all of the costs and well his wage is not stretching as far as it did in Perth - I had a job so it meant we had a little bit of a buffer.

This move was supposed to be the one that set us up so that we could get a little bit comfortable and not have to worry as much and well I have to say that so far it is not happening.  I can't help but wonder what I have done wrong in a past life to be getting all of this crappy luck that we have been having. I started my Vision Board with the things that I want to happen but at the minute I am not feeling positive about them because I am so stressed about not being able to stretch the $$$$ as far as they are supposed to - if I stretch them any further they are going to snap back and leave a huge welt on my ass.  As a mother and wife it is my job to make sure the wage stretches, do I swallow my pride and ask my Mum for a bit of help to get us out of the hole for this month?  I am a 40 something year old women who is looking at the prospect of having to run to her Mum for some financial aid and frankly that is not sitting well with me.  So other than selling my body or a kidney - my body has born two kids and had a heap of pizza so its not in the best shape and my kidney well that has had to filter a quantity of alcohol in its adult life so it probably wouldn't be in the best shape either!!.

Never having to ask for help I don't know if I can now, I have always managed to find a way to get through. Hindsight is proving to be a wonderful thing at the minute and I can't help wonder what if at this present moment in time but it was once pointed out to me that living in the past never gets you anywhere because you always have to keep moving forward.
 So that brings me to my next thought how can we move forward and what can be done so that we are never in this position again? Do I buy a Lotto ticket and hope for the best along with every other Lotto buying adult in Australia? or do I pick myself up by the bootstraps and really start playing to my strengths and stop this woa is me?  Well I am going to do both, I am going to make sure that we are never short of money again- see positive thinking already,  and that we have have the life that we deserve.  I don't mean fancy cars, overseas holidays and a fancy house I mean enough money behind us so that we don't have to stress, enough money so that I can say to the kids yes we can go and get that instead of saying no you are going to have to wait till next pay day and to be able to go out for dinner once a fortnight without having to worry if there is enough money in the account to be able to pay for it.

All I need to do now is figure out how I am going to do this.
