Round-up of May Budget and Financial Goals

 

 I was dreading coming up with last month's budget report, but it actually didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would. Yay!

So it's been almost two weeks since I last posted here and for that I have no one to blame but my son. That's right, you with the numerous feedings, nappy changes and incessant need to be carried every waking and half-waking moment. Being a parent surely has its bright spots, but anyone who says that it's happiness and sunshine all the time is lying. I love my son, but I have to admit that I never imagined that being a parent would entail this much sacrifice, and it's really just beginning. These days, I'm avoiding ambitious to-do lists and mid-term or long-term plans, and in their stead, I focus on little victories, such as being able to take a long shower everyday while the baby sleeps.
