Single Mom Money Tips – Worry Less, Love More

Worry less about money and more about loving your life and your kids.
When bills and needs loom above your head it is hard to forget about money problems. If the rent or mortgage is late or the car note is about to be two months late the problem is very real and overwhelming.
I have been there and the stress almost strangled me. After a while I had to ask myself the question, “What is the worst thing that can happen?” If the worst thing wasn’t losing my kids or my life then it would be okay.
This mental shift did wonders for my stress level. If my car was taken or I got kicked out of my home I would be okay just as long I had my kids and my health.
I am a firm believer in starting over. Nothing is so insurmountable that simply beginning again is impossible. Learning to love my life, the way it is, with all it’s obstacles, problems and past issues is way better than stressing and complaining about things I cannot change (at the moment).
My kids, your kids grow up only once and you deserve to be there (in body and mind) for the entire wild ride. They won’t remember the money problems but they will remember stargazing or eating ice cream on a hot summer day.

Samantha, you have written words of wisdom. Growing up in a single family home, I can definitely agree it is best for the children to worry less and love more. The love my mom provided was enough during birthdays, holidays, and even dinner. We knew despite what we did not have we had the love of our mom.
