since 2013 has hit i’ve been determined to do things differently. i have been pretty blessed to have the life i do but i’m pretty sure everyone, including me, has a goal lifestyle for where they’d like to be one day. this year i’m jump starting that.
it’s not living outside of your means if you plan carefully & put your saved money towards select things that will last instead of buying several cheap options all at once.
it seems lately that some people with outside perspectives don’t seem to understand that. no one knows your financial situation besides yourself {& your spouse..keep it that way!}
……………………
okay, i’m stepping down from my soap box now. so here’s the point: so what if you buy yourself designer things like clothing or makeup? who cares if you buy an 80$ electronic water kettle or neiman marcus things for your dog?
if you’ve paid all your bills, groceries, gas for the month, etc. & you have left over ‘mad money’ why the heck not spend it how you want to?
this is all about going after the life you want & taking it! it shouldn’t matter to anyone who is not living it with you. i think if you set goals for yourself & you try your hardest to visualize & obtain them then you will.
*now i’m not saying go out & get a million credit cards & max them all out. this is about spending your left-over income, i.e. the money you’ve earned.
if you’re like me this won’t happen over night but it might throughout a year or two if you’re careful with what you spend & on what. try to pick classic things that you won’t get sick of in a few months.
everyone’s entitled to their opinions, especially over the issue of money, but when it comes to me only my husband’s thoughts are of any value. it’s about honesty, trust, & communication.

what are your goals for 2013? is there anything you’re manifesting for your own life?
