There is this really great mall
in Charlotte. Jason and I used to “visit”
it for date night when we lived up there.
I say visit because it was way too pricey to really shop. We would walk past Tiffany’s, Kate Spade,
Tommy Bahama and we would dream. I just
knew one day I wouldn’t feel so in awe of these stores. I for one don’t think it’s crazy to spend
hundreds of dollars on a purse or a pair of shoes.
I’ve been thinking about that
mall a lot over the last couple days, wishing we were in a different place with
money. I don’t want to sound ungrateful because
all the really important dreams are coming true. (Being a stay at home mom is the biggest one.) Sometimes it’s hard to stay on the path we
know is best for us. I wish we could go
out and finance a car and a house full of furniture. We could make the payments, but I know that’s
not the best choice. We want to have a
future that is secure. Retirement and
college funds. But still, sometimes all
these good choices just sound like blah, blah, blah.
OK so I wouldn't spend hundreds on this one. $328! |
I'm with you...blah, blah, blah! I find myself saying "What if college is unnecessary when my kids are 18?" It's wishful thinking... I know!
ReplyDeleteI know. It is so hard to not just say "It'll all work out" and go shopping!!!!!
