So proud and obsessed with my creation.

So proud and obsessed with my creation.

I don’t understand the WHY behind it all, but, I do know that this happened for a reason. God never left me though. He’s leading me down a path that’s meant to push me to be resilient. He’s provided for me in so many ways, a place for my family and I to live, a car, a new job with a salary increase, a boss that cares and pushes me to be more, new skills and I’ve been back in the gym. Although, I’m not out of the dark yet…I have so much to be grateful for. I’m working on not feeling angry, depressed or insecure anymore. I’m ready to feel like myself again.

Having a single income household is so hard though and I’ve had to really work on managing my expenses and find ways to save or figure out how to earn more. Although I make substantially more at my new job, we are in tough economic times. I read an article where people making six figures are living paycheck to paycheck. Go figure? With some of my new skills, I created a budgeting template in Excel to help me manage my money, pay bills on time and see where I can cut back and save. I’m kinda addicted to budgeting and creating them. It’s been so Therapeutic for me! NEW found NERDY hobby! 😂 But seriously it’s helped me in more ways than one. I enjoy learning new Excel and Google sheet tricks, formulas, functions…okay let me stop being nerdy lol. But, I’ve shared a couple of my templates with friends and they love using them! So I decided to open an Etsy Shop selling Excel and Google sheet templates. They are super affordable, easy to use and extremely efficient. I put a lot of effort and research into creating a seamless budget. And, I plan on adding all kinds…because I’m addicted.
