So i received some amazing news yesterday!
i got a job at a local factory making brake parts, and i also got a seasonal position at Bath and Body Works in our mall
so as of next monday i will no longer be a house girlfriend.
who will clean the house? cook dinner? scrub the toilet? all of these are valid concerns of someone who has been taking care of a house and dinner and grocery shopping and everything in between since i moved here with boyfriend in july. we could very well use this money, but the fact that i will be working two jobs, i will be making the most money out of the two of us. i am hoping that means i get more say so in what we buy and how we budget our money. our monthly combined income with me now working will be doubled (well a little bit more than doubled) of what we made with just boyfriends income.
im really happy i can help provide because boyfriend gets really really stressed because of money…i usually dont.
while i have this job i plan on saving up and buying things that we will need in the future….i.e. baby things, wedding things, toilet paper..ya know basics
the reason im wanting to prepare for a baby is just because you never really know. we might get married in a year and have a baby right away for all i know. i would rather be prepared than not.
any other girlfriend’s decide to get a job to help out recently?
