Being 7 months out of Grad school means the student loan payments are rolling back in in full effect. The amount makes me believe I may never pay them off in this lifetime and makes me want to cry a little. I mean, I'll be able to pay them off, I'll live in a shack and raise my (future) children to grow their own food and sew their own clothes. Maybe that won't be so bad... Well, the shack, not so much, but the other part... I wouldn't mind raising such resourceful children! I know I will raise them to have some money sense early on, so that they won't have to figure it out in their 20s like I did. I was never as bad as my mother, but I could've been better about some things.
As I look at the things I want to accomplish in my 30s (wedding/honeymoon, house, kids and staying at home w/ said kids 1/2 of the time) sometimes I feel quite overwhelmed. I know I don't want to stay at home full time, but I also would like to not HAVE to work full time either. But there is the matter of those not one, but two, degrees from not public, but private schools to take into consideration as well.
At times I feel like it's never friggin easy! But then I have to check myself and remind myself to take it one day at a time. I'm entry leveling it fresh outta school, which is normal and to be expected. As I put my time in, and, more importantly, get licensed I'll move up on the pay scale. So there is that. But why oh why does it take 2 years to get licensed?! Arg! On the other hand... I'm a quarter of the way there!!!!
The glass is half full. The glass is half full. The glass is half full...
