raman noodles it is
Yet again I find myself in financial misery. Payday has become less and less something I look forward to and more as a day where I come to the realization of how broke I really am. But I don't want to hear the violins just yet. I recognize that this is a self-inflicted problem and I truly only have myself to blame...well, myself and Victorias Secret for having such amazing clearance sales and TJ Maxx for selling cute fall decor for my house...but I guess that's beside the point.
So it's nothing but PB&J, Raman Noodles, and Mac n' Cheese for me. Lucky for me these are a few of my favorite things to eat, so it's not complete torture; it's having to restrain from my long Friday lunchbreaks spent shopping or meeting my girlfriends for a delicious lunch that is. And I always think to myself, well next paycheck will leave me with more money for the frivolous since I spent so much of this paycheck on bills. But that next paycheck comes and it never seems to be the case.
I try to put things into perspective for myself by thinking of the millions of families that live solely on a paycheck the size of mine; that families of four find a way to make my paycheck stretch to afford a home, clothes, and put food on the table. There will be a day soon where my husband I will realize that our family is expanding and the frills must be sacrificed. Surely we both make enough money to afford to have children someday, but it is hard to fathom the idea where I am today.

Sadly, you'll have to become like me and realize that, you'll have to make a decision between those clearance sales and friday lunches with your friends.
Luckily for you, I usually choose my friends. Sadly for me, my clothes are not trendy and my home is not well-decorated!!
Oh, do I feeeel you on this one!
