Marriage And Finances

April 30, 2012 By Jendi 2 Comments

Whoever makes the main income to support the marriage is the one that should manage the income.

This week is my 14th wedding anniversary and I’m going to write on marriage related topics. This one is my opinion about financial management in a marriage – obviously.

I started thinking about this during my teen years before I even knew who my husband would be, and decided that if my husband wanted me to be a SAHM then he would manage the finances. My dad managed the household income with input from my mom and it worked out fine. I saw other couples [leaving out names] where the SAHM was left to worry over the income that she was to manage while the husband went and bought what he wanted.

Best Sneakers I’ve Had My Whole Life

January 14, 2012 By Jendi Leave a Comment

I’ve never been one to spend much on sneakers. Wal-mart, Payless, Kmart pairs did just fine. I remember being little and wearing the toes out of pair after pair. Then as a young adult I can remember years that I didn’t wear sneakers at all. As a mother I occasionally bought sneakers or used hand me down ones. The experience was never great; I just tolerated them as needed. But now – Now I enjoy wearing my sneakers almost every day.
