[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 4091950, member: 45551"] Right?? I'm gonna regret saying this cuz Grumpy is one of those guys who doesn't know and doesn't care about keeping up with the finances around here. That is both a blessing and a curse. But I spend less than we bring in -- even without my salary I had at JoAnn'a before my accident and my most recent grocery store salary -- which was less than half what I made at JoAnn's because hard as I try I cannot do the same amount of work as I could before I got hurt. I made plenty of mistakes -- a lot of them even after Grumpy and I got married. Some because we were both so over-extended from divorces/break-ups and because I wanted to give him and the kids (his and mine) everything they wanted but it didn't take long for me to pull my head outta my *** ... Now we spend less than he makes and that will only get better here as time goes on. House will be paid off soon. And my gardening/farmyard backyard has already paid for itself -- I am actually breaking even because I am selling eggs and have more customers wanting than I have eggs to sell. While I worked at the grocery store I filled up 2 freezers with meat of all kinds for pennies on the dollar and freeze-dried so much produce I couldn't even start to list it here. I literally only buy bread and ice unless I'm wanting to splurge -- like for the ginger for the tomato soup I canned today. And that will also get better. After the remodel next spring I will have an outdoor room to grow plants in all year long and am looking forward to buying -ZERO- fresh produce from the store. Now I have the time -- all I need is the knowledge -- I'm guessing maybe within 5 years. Just in time for them to haul me away and stick me in the old folks' home. 🤦🤦🤦 And I still want some more ducks. They don't eat more than chickens and I can sell those eggs for an extra dollar or two a dozen. [/QUOTE]
