The Cost of ‘Adulting’
Maybe this is poorly titled, maybe it should say something along the lines of “The Cost of Parenting” or even “The Cost of Owning a Business”. However I often list the two in a category only easily described as ‘adulting’.
Now mind you a wrote previously about the car that I owe $13,000 on needing major repairs, I am not going over the frustration of that again, I will tell you, my business partner (mom) and I have agreed to have the engine replaced. The problem here is they want over $6000 for a USED engine that has a very small guarantee, and A LOT of risk, for a car they should have never financed at such a steep rate. So please think and pray on a good DRIVE-ABLE outcome!
Now beyond these astronomical vehicle expenses, can I talk for one second about how hard it is to feed FOUR growing humans! OH MY! Now obviously I have tremendous amounts of help from those around me, and I am GRATEFUL! We are fine and getting by on our meal plans and budgets! I just never realized how much growing humans could consume! We go through more vegetables then one person could believe! I am blessed however, they all enjoy the veggies more then anything else!
Now I don’t want to sound naive, I knew owning a business would cost, and I knew taking on extra kiddos would cost, I am so proud of both my business and my growing family, it is just hard to account for such dramatic, life altering, leaps of faith all at one time!
