Before my son I was a very independent successful woman who paid for everything for myself even when I got married. I never had to worry about money even for my college because I worked so hard. And now all I do is worry about money even though my husband & I don’t have to. Because it’s HIS income now that I’m stay at home. I was so used to splurging on myself. My husband wants me to splurge on myself but I just can’t. I have the mindset now of Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget which I shouldn’t... how did any of you ladies get past it with a transition similar to mine?
I haven’t. I feel the same!!!
I went from managing a dispensary, paying my home note, my car note, utilities and all other expenses, traveling & shopping... ...to being a SAHM
He offers hair and nails, never been into that. My hair is fine natural and my nails grow LONG and strong naturally. He offers spa days, but I know how expensive HIS taste is and he doesn’t like me to find “deals”. He offers shopping sprees, but I always end up just shopping for her 🤷🏽♀️
I was the breadwinner for our entire relationship until my husband got a new job a year ago. His new job was so good that I was able to quit my job and stay home. So just knowing we wouldn’t have gotten this far without me helps me feel better about the whole situation.
