STSP Financial Mistake #1: Spending Money You Do Not Have
#singleparents #singleparentfuel #singleparentslife #stsp #divorcedparents
Hey guys, starting a new financial series, so make you sure to subscribe, so you do not miss an episode. Let's make the broke single mom stereotype a myth.
When I became a single mom, I desperately wanted to give my kids and myself the lifestyle we had known when their dad and I were together. To do this, I tried to continue taking them out to eat, paying for cable, piano classes, getting my hair and nails done every two weeks, and buying clothes we did not need. Doing this only put me deeper in debt.
The solution was to create a budget and stick with it; I know that the word budget might make you think of a restrictive lifestyle with no room for fun. But, it is the one tool that helped to take the overwhelm out of my finances, and when we did go out to eat, I wasn’t wondering if I was going to be able to pay the light bill. Sit down with a piece of paper and write out all your expenses, big and small, and their due dates, then write down your income streams (include everything). “It’s crucial to track your spending habits so you can get a better holistic idea of your financial circumstances.”
I know that this may be scary, but this is how you protect your family.
With Peace and Love,
