Growing up sucks, Lol. The responsibilities that come with this phase of life require massive doses of reality checks and sensible adjustments.<br /><br />I can imagine only imagine the adjustments that I'd need to make when I make transition from single to married life.<br /><br />Even now, I wish I could pack lunches daily to work, I would save quite a bit from that thrifty adjustment.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing this. :-)Nedouxhttp://www.nedoux.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924600384444388546.post-51682398761573724422016-02-03T07:16:47.716-05:002016-02-03T07:16:47.716-05:00That's a nice article Berry. people don't ...That's a nice article Berry. people don't like to face reality as every body wants to be the 'it' girl. it's sincere and straight to the point. nemyinspired.blogspot.comNemyinspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041281760327437315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924600384444388546.post-65860362101429412072016-02-03T05:22:30.088-05:002016-02-03T05:22:30.088-05:00This is so enlightening, I actually learn a thing ...This is so enlightening, I actually learn a thing or two each time I visit your blog. I learnt how to separate fabrics so I could use them in different attires, although I can be frugal in spending but sometimes I just shut that part of me down and overspend on stuffs with the thought that you live only once, and when you die someone else will spend your money. However I have decided to go back to my frugal mode and live strictly on budget as well as start a side hustle that can bring in extra income. Life is a cycle. I have learnt from the principles Joseph applied in the bible,to save as much as I can during the time of plenty so I can still have enough during the time of lack. I encourage everyone to apply that same principle and you will never experience lack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924600384444388546.post-82635507964480184862016-02-02T23:01:44.763-05:002016-02-02T23:01:44.763-05:00Hi Berry,

A lot of people...Berry, thank you for posting this. A lot of people identify with this but will rather pretend that all is well and plunge themselves deeper into financial mess. It is rather an unfortunate situation at ur work place and I pray they pay you every money that u are owed. Hmm, asoebi, I didn't have an asoebi for my wedding, so I do not feel obliged to buy any one's own. My friends nicknamed akaglue (that's where I got my blog name from )and they are already used to me and accepted me for who I am. With the much we make as a family, we live such a fulfilled balanced life and people mistake and comment that we must be earning so much. (Hubby and I). With a little savings and financial wisdom/prudence, financial security can be achieved. I am so happy with this post because u have followership and reach more people than I do and people will read and understand that it's ok to be low on cash, it's ok to be frugal. No one should be shy about being thrifty. It's my money, I make it, so I decide how it should be spent. This is the message I try to pass across on my blog all the time.

I use my monthly allowance for my day to day expenses like feeding, transportation, etc funny enough the money doesn't last up to a month. I also do not get support from anyone. What did I do? I gave my PPA a new account number where they pay my salary into, I didn't go back to collect my ATM card neither do I know my account number. I've been saving my salary since I started serving June 2015. I also have a side hustle too<br />My friends tell me, 'you make more money than us, how come we don't see it on you' I tell them I'm saving for my future.<br /><br />The world out there is tough, don't want to be hit unawares, need to plan. It gets hard sometimes, if not all the time.<br />This island is way too expensive an too many fakes out here. I'm still a mainland girl at heart and I know my labours won't be in vain. <br />If you have a giveaway for a struggling youth Corp member, I'm here Berry. <br />I love the way you love cakes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14396768191589038051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924600384444388546.post-84761006353703834902016-02-01T15:10:38.437-05:002016-02-01T15:10:38.437-05:00Love your honesty... definitely harder now .. but ...Love your honesty... definitely harder now .. but am learning to let go too and trust God completely!aleroloveshttp://aleroloves.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924600384444388546.post-67547700296427322542016-02-01T14:36:27.803-05:002016-02-01T14:36:27.803-05:00I recently just started saving.
