Inflation is the main reason for most of my problems. I have a certain allotment of money I am allowed to spend in a week, well when I get a letter saying that my son’s drum lesson cost is going up and the registration fee for my daughter’s dance classes are also going up; what do I do? I tried working some overtime at work, but all that does is steal time from my family while giving the tax man more money every time I get paid.

I changed a few things around and was able to move my son into a video drum lesson tutorial class and then cut out one class for my daughter to get back to my original budget. I am now back on track, but I am sure I will be thrown another financial roadblock. Aren’t we always thrown some sort of obstacle when things start going to smooth?
