Hello everyone in the weekend experience community. I'm glad to be here with my response to the week's posting prompts which is about my personal future concerns.
I'm currently depending on three sources to support myself and my family. Although, these sources are not able to meet up with all the bills I have in front on me. The sources are Hive, Gfam, and Kontrinews where I write news in pidgin as an editor.
My biggest concern is financial security, and I'm concerned about my ability to support my family and create a stable future for them.
A few days ago, I was paid my salary from Kontrinews, and within two days, I had used up all the money.
Bill were paid, even though it wasn't all the bill. Last month was quite a difficult month as I couldn't save anything at the end of the month.
Hive, Gfam, Kontrinews are what I engage in physically to support myself. However, I still hold on to the fact that we have an almighty who takes care of us and sustains us. That's why I sometimes feel that it is not just what we do that sustains us but the Almighty who watches over us that sustains us.
Additionally, I worry about how well my son will be guided and supported in his formative years, and if my intimate relationship will be stable. Besides worrying about my ability to contribute to society, I'm also worried about being able to afford treatments and living the life I want in the future.
Besides that, I'm worried about what I'll be able to do in the future. I'm worried about whether I'll be able to find a job I'm passionate about, and how much difference I'll be able to make. I have concerns about being able to take good care of my son until he's an independent adult. Concerning my relationship, it has been inconsistent lately.
So many concern
In all honesty, these concerns make me feel down. However, I have been told not to worry about tomorrow because it will take care of itself. Let me assume that it will.
Of course not. The least I can do is make sure that I do my very best to tackle the worries of financial security and other concerns.
Saving a good percentage from whatever I earn is one of the things I am doing so as to these concerns.
I also plan to create a realistic budget and set realistic goals. I can't say I want to buy a Telsa next month when I know it requires a lot financially. Besides that it is not a pressing need for me now.
Focusing on what is needed would keep me from spending on unnecessary expenses. Having a budget would also help me minimize excessive spending.
I think when I do this thing, I'll be much more prepared for financial emergencies and I will be able to work towards building a secure financial future. Most importantly, it would help me to be more aware of how I manage my money, so I can make better decisions.
Speaking of my relationship, I'm learning to be more aware of my emotions and how they impact my relationship. I'm also trying to be more open and honest with my partner about my worries and concerns. I'm working on communication and trust, and I'm trying to focus on the things that bring us together rather than the things that pull us apart. I'm trying to find ways to build a strong, healthy relationship that can last.
Trying to accomplish these things sometimes leads to a dead end. That happens when we quarrel and never seem to be on the same page. Another reason is the fact that I feel like he is honest enough.
Above all that I have mentioned and regarding my son too, I am being patient with myself and taking every step one at a time. Also, focusing on things I have control over. I figured that if I do anything contrary to this, I'm just trying to drain myself and nothing good will come out of anything I try to do.
You can still join the posting prompts HERE. It will end in the next 20 hours.
