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!
Made My Mom Happy
