Money, money, money. I have been raised to pay for pretty much everything, my parents of course helped but they are firm believers in working hard and saving your money. Which has been a blessing, although I don't always see it as that. It is hard watching all of my friends parents pay for everything to the point they don't have to work. Although in the end I know I am learning a lot more than they are. I know how to save, balance my accounts, and spend my money wisely, which will be really beneficial. So to my parents thank you for the lessons you have taught me. Also to my brother Brock, he is someone I look up to most in my life. He has always been there for me and been an amazing brother to me. One quality I really look up to is how he manages his money. He saved quite a bit before his mission, which I don't think a lot of missionaries think to do. Anywho, he now has an amazing job, beautiful house, all apple gear, two new cars, etc. I have definitely been raised in a very blessed neighborhood and house, and with that being said I want to have that while raising a family of my own. I really hope my husband has a good job and can support me and my family. It makes me sad to see how many guys are becoming so lazy and not working to support their families. I of course am having my back up plan, hence the nursing degree. I know money isn't everything, but it is a lot. It is the number one cause for divorce, and I want to avoid that at all costs. So the moral of the story is that I hope me and future hubby are on the same page with money, and that we support each other in all that we do. I have been thinking about this a lot today because it was the main topic in my institute class. Don't get me wrong I don't think money makes you happy, although I think it helps... I am really glad I was taught to always be a hard worker, and for the most part I feel like I have been. It really does pay off, even though I complain here and there, I am very grateful that I have so many responsibilities it keeps my head on my shoulders.
