Made My Mom Happy

September 9th, 2010 at 07:32 pm

Out of the $4900 I got, I gave my mom close to $3000. She called me to today to thank me for remembering them. She said that in the past they have given money to thier children and then when the children get windfalls, they don't remember to give any back to them. She was just very proud of me. To me it was the right thing to do. I am trying very hard to be self sufficient. My parents are not alwasy going to be there so I need to learn to live on what I make.

I keep staring at my account in Quicken. I am not used to not having to keep a strict eye on it to make sure I don't bounce a check. I still keep a strict eye on it, but for different reasons. I just hope that my resolve stays strong and I continue to not spend money, even though I have it.

I joined Thrive Tuesday night. So far so good. I bought the recommended bread and peanut butter and jelly. I bought the protein shakes fromo them. It was pretty good. I am not hungry, but I find that I am bored and tempted to eat out of boredom. I must put a halt to that! But wich me luck as I continue on this diet plan. I really need to lose a bunch of weight!

    I imagine it is a burden lifted to be able to repay that money. If your parents know how much you struggle, they probably feel deeply proud of and satisfied in your integrity....Many good wishes for the weight loss program.

    Great job on repaying your parents. I definitely feel that money loaned and not repaid can change a relationship, even one between parent & child.

    I agree that helping the parents was the right thing to do, and it has to lead you to some peace in your heart, as well. I am sure that they will be very proud of the progress you are making, and I hope that the Thrive program offers you some insurance that you can reach your personal goals. Good luck!

    Good for you. I placed my debt to my parents high on my list and felt much better when it was paid off.
