I'm in dark mood tonight. Life lately seems to be all about money and worrying about and trying to hang on to it. And part of me thinks it really doesn't seem worth it.
I understand, and have moments of that myself. It is worth it, there is love and sunshine and they cost nothing.
I've been poor. It's all you think about.
Tomorrow is a new day. Survival is winning, even if it’s tough.
I feel that myself.
After spending years on an informal no-buy I’ve now started allowing myself an occasional treat or looking at affordable alternatives for getting what I need.
Plus reminding myself that I’m not completely destitute, that things are tight but I’m choosing not to eat into my savings.
But that’s such a mood.
