Mortgage and tax bills. Blah. Electric bill. Oh yay… a rate hike. Oil bill. Almost as high as the mortgage bill for pete’s sake! Car note. I wanted that fancy new suv (my dream car, after all!), but it doesn’t make me cringe any less. Water bill. I do love my showers. Insurance for car

Marriage Advice From Your Older Sister

2 Comments / Communication, Family, Lesson Learned, Relationships /
