Get Money

I was talking to an old college buddy today and our convo was cut short because I had to go to the part-time job. She was like” what! You still work for the company; I remember when you first got that job and the reason.” We both started laughing but internally it also got me to thinking. 

 It was my senior year at U of I and it was my birthday. My guy at the time birthday was coming up and I wanted to give him this nice party at the hotel with gifts and everything. Soooo, I got a job. Now this may be a natural event of life to some, but to me I was blessed to not really have to work unless I had to pay bills(at least not have to work crazy in college). But anyways, I interviewed and was offered the job on MY birthday and started this 9 year journey with the part time.

As I think back to all the years I have stayed at this job I have this love hate relationship with it. I have wanted to quit for years but haven’t. Since I haven’t, I thought why am I still here? I think back to the times I say I am going to quit in the summer or hope they fire me because I tell them I can only work one day but I notice I always start working more when I have a significant other I want to spoil, and then start working even more when I am single again. I remember working two jobs as I always have when I started my career and going to school all so that I can be this “super women” and prove you deserve me. When I think back who in their right mind that has no kids and no real responsibility would do all this to try and keep a significant other happy when unfortunately they

didn’t feel the same about you. As I continue to think about this, even though I say I am going to quit I don’t. Why? Well, as I start this journey of self I notice one thing, ok two things about why I keep it.

I enjoy being able to give my significant other gifts.(It’s usually their love language, which I will be talking about in a later blog) Within the 9 years I have just learned to do it for those who I feel will appreciate it; cause trust me as you get older the toys they want get more and more expensive and I am a freakin sucker for a happy man so you do what you feel you need to do.

But the most important thing I have noticed for me and others is the desire to want, and need money will NEVER fade. Being able to enjoy the single life the past few years I noticed that there are a lot of things I can/ want to do that makes ME happy. I can

spend my money on ME and be just as happy. Who would have thought. Now until I get completely set in my career and get my job that will require me to not have to work the part time(stupid society for under appreciating teachers) which is looking

like it’s in the cards for next school year, I will still work it for that just in case factor.

Moral of my story …I may think twice about how I spend my

money BUT I WON’T think twice about getting money. When yo man aint got no time to spend with ya, use that time to make money . It always come with the rewards of spending! AND trust me a man aint always about to stop

doing what he doing if he wants to do something so stay busy and GET MONEY!
