REINVENTING MERDY: IF ONLY...

Why does it seem that money rules the world. I watch my silly Real Housewives Franchises and bask in all they have, how they look, and moreover how easy their lives seem with a lot of money. Of course each week one of them is going at with someone else, but isn't that how it is when money worries don't exsist??? You just drink and fight and then get botox and shop?! My poor hubby is struggling with family money issues, and my heart breaks for him because he just wants everyone to get along and not let family money and greed ruin them. I try to live simply and quite honestly I don't have much money to spend. I have said before that I hover over the clearance racks at Target for 4, 5, 6 dolla deals. I try to thrift shop, which isn't as fun here in Hawaii...We don't eat out rarely ever, we drive a beat up Rav4, and our house needs endless work done to it internally and externally. But still...we are a happy unit. My hubby and I have 2 beautiful children together, I have a great stepson, we live 10 minutes from the beach. It's all good. But.......come on, we can all dream right? I am a girl, and I think girls especially daydream a lot of what it would be like to be rich...if I had a million dollars. First of all, I would donate a lot of money and time if I was rich. Even now, living on a tight budget, I still always donate to food banks and charities. I wish I could do more, but even a little bit helps. And then...my selfish self is allowed to splurge...new car, botox?, new house....hmmmmm!
