    Congrats ZG! As much as I love my kiddies, I have to admit am at most peaceful place when at work and I never thought I would say that!!! EVER!!!!
    Its a chance for me to have something for just me, and it gives me that potential bridge to complete freedom if this is the road chosen.
    You are totally human about the butterflies! but I noticed they get less and less for me as I age! God bless and best of luck!

    Thanks again, ladies! Heidi, wow, does that Garmin cook dinner too? (You’re right; ours cost about $100. I can’t imagine what the $700 version does.) And I can’t believe what your h said to you. GRRRRR….

    And yup, you got it girl. I’m buying some new clothes. I would describe the dress code as “business casual,” so my day-in-and-day out jeans that weren’t costing much won’t cut it.

    Now the question: what % of my (admittedly small) paycheck do I stash away for myself? Hmmmm…

    Love and hugs,
    Julie

    Wow ZG,

    I’m so proud of you. What a fun job. I think it pays more than you know. The money may not be that much but what it does for your confidence, ego, and self satisfaction is way worth it. I bet, too, that once they see your dedication and your good work ethics that the raises will come.

    I can’t believe the stories about what all of the ladies husbands on this post have said to them. My H insisted that I leave my job when it was stressing me out so bad that I couldn’t take it anymore. He knew we could make it on one income and told me not to worry about it. To this day, he does not want me to work anymore.

    After D-day, I immediately thought that it was all part of a greater plan in his head. That he knew he would be caught sooner or later and that he knew I couldn’t make it on my own with no job. He denies that to this day, and I actually believe it, because he would have to pay me alimony if we were to divorce anyway. I’m grateful that he’s not been the kind of insignificant ass that ya’ll have been describing in your posts.

    ZG, I wish you the best in this new life of yours and I look forward to your future posts.

    Much love, Claire
