Here is why I ponder this...
1. Pregnancy. When I was pregnant, I waited till I was seven months pregnant before buying anything. Yes, I knew I was pregnant when I was several weeks along but I figured why rush? Caucasian friends of mine who were pregnant around the same times as I was had everything set and ready for their offspring by the time they were 6 months pregnant...
2. Savings. I can't save for beans! We saved up money for the down payment of our house for a year, and in the past 9 years we haven't had more that $150 in our savings account at a time. Stocks, portfolios, diversified 401k, ROTH Ira... what an alphabet soup! If it isn't offered through work, there is no way I can part with more of my take home pay! And what am I saving for? See, I don't get it!
3. Wills. I have an 11 year old and a 9 year old. If hubby and I die they are going to go somewhere, where? I have no clue. People that I thought were good friends when the kids were born are not that close to us now.
Am I crazy? Maybe for thinking that Caucasians specifically long term plan. I know that Ms. Liberty84 would say yes. I want to plan for the future, but it seems like I barely make it through the day! Or in the odd chance that I have planned for the future, a wrench is always thrown in my plan and something happens that alters my plans. I don't exactly fly by the seat of my pants, but long term planning to me is anything further than 3 months away.
Perhaps it's just the evil green eyed jealousy monster that is fighting for attention. Maybe I just secretly wish that I could be a serious long term planner. Geez, I don't know. All I know is that I make kick a** cupcakes!
Now, if I had planned on baking today, it would never have happened. But my ADD personality felt that my cinnamon hazelnut coffee would taste so much better with a homemade chocolate hostess cupcake, complete with homemade cream filling. Sad but true.
Maybe I just need a life coach to get me on track... do they have ones who service the ghetto?
