Time to Grow Up, Jo!

*posting blog while sitting on bus on the way to work* So I turned 25 this year. I freaked out. no more staying for free at the house. i am being charged the same amount our old tenant was. no fam discount. i am becoming responsible of more things in the household, like the PG&E and Comcast bills. i help care for my neicey-poo, and buy food for the fam and usually am the one who handles the bill at the end of a meal. i would have to say that being a contributer to the household is very fulfilling, but when you grow up, sacrifices have to be made. for me, that's dining out. i don't have kids yet, but i do want some eventually. i just gotta figure rout a new budget. i got paid yesterday, and a third of it is gone. i still have my cell bill and school loans to pay AND the lechon and cake for jayla's baptism party. gah. maybe i should trade my restaurant menu for the stove now. i really need to get my act together and learn how to save. 11711(wedding day) is coming soon...*whines* but i don't wanna grow up!!
