$$$$

I am still getting used to having more $ around.  

Finally, all my hard work is literally paying off and I still find myself anxious at the checkout line when we buy groceries.  I still reach for the things on sale and the store brand items. 

I still am shocked that we have money left to put in savings.  

I guess it all just takes some adjusting.  It feels good (???) to be paying off some bills, to have extra spending money. 

I am still a little unsure, like I feel it won't last.  I don't know why.  Maybe it is all of those years of just scraping by--those are hard to let go of.  

I don't want it to seem like I have more money than I know what to do with.  
That IS NOT the case.  

It's just that now we have money to pay all of our bills, not just the ones we are getting "final notices" on.  

And, we have a little left over for a rainy day,  and a date.  I am not used to that......at all.  

But I am enjoying it, for the most part ;0)
