For the next 30 days, I am going to write the complete and utter truth about myself. Here is day 2
If you missed previous days, go here.

Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.
This one is easy for me. I love that I am able to have the life that I have. I have a great apartment, a car, a great paying job and I can afford to live as I want to live. I love that I can provide this kind of life for me and Son. I am very proud of this fact.
While married, there was 2 incomes and we spent to the max. Once divorced, I worked HARD to reduce my debt, get my credit back and get my budget under control. I now have a great home for me and Son, a new car, and I have a little savings account. I also was able to take us to Disney last year. I remember standing At Cinderella’s Castle the first day, crying because we were THERE and everything was paid for and I did it all on my own.
I decided long ago that I would not live the way I did when married. I would always have a savings account and I would have “play” in my budget to be able to go out to dinner or be able to do something fun with Jakes and not have to worry about where the money would come from.
Good for you! You should be very proud of yourself!
