“As we got older, the monsters crept from under
our beds to inside our heads.”
The first of the month is an exciting moment here at Lady Marielle. It is the day that I get to update my lovely and supportive readers on my monster. I’m happy to report that May was good to me. I feared it was going to end crappy, but it didn’t and I’m thankful for that.
I still have a long way to go before I can finally be free of my monsters but with each passing days I feel closer and closer to my goal.
Net Worth Report for May 2014
Can’t have a monster post without an awesome colored up monster by the little man!
We ended the month of May with a yard sale to clear up the clutter in our place. Thanks to my cute little Pirate for helping out!
Thank you, everyone, that has followed me in my journey and cheered me! If you are new here, feel free to check out my previous monster’s posts and of course subscribe to follow me in my quest!
So glad the month did not end up being as bad as you had thought it would be. You had such a great helper for your yard sale – I bet that got a lot of sales – I am a sucker for cute kids trying to sell me things.
Saving money and being aware of your money , assets and debt is important.
Aww real cute pirate you got there.Love the monster drawing.I really need to sort out and sell stuff i have so much that could make a little extra,every little helps :-).
Aw such a cutie!!! Love the drawing
Yay! Congratulations for that accomplishment. We will also have a yard sale soon as we are cleaning the house.
Wow great news that you did better then you thought isn’t that amazing when we think we are defeated and then we get a nice surprise.
keep on hanging in there looks like you got this handled.
Such a cute pirate! I’m wishing you lots of luck!
That’s one of the cutest little pirates I’ve ever seen and yay for chipping away at meeting your goal!
I love the quote, so true!
Best poster ever! Great job, little man. May you and your families life be blessed!
Well it looks to me like you are taming your monsters. We had a huge monster pop up over the weekend.
You have a long way to go on clearing your debt but having a garage sale really helps in raising funds plus in unclutters the household.
Garage sales are a great way to make extra money to pay off debt or just to clear clutter out of your house. I bet you sold alot with your helper he is to cute.
Good job!
Happy about you having a better than expected month
You are right your little pirate mate is way too cute. Glad he was around for that heloing hand!
It’s awesome that you had a good month. I should do a yard sale too with all my excess stuff.
First what a cute pirate and happy you ended the month well. I would say I understand the spreadsheet but I don’t just happy you felt it ended well.
I love your monster posts for one reason, because of the cute monster drawings!
I like that the month ended good for you.. Things are going to go up from there.. I need to clean the garage and get rid of some things..
Good for you taming that debt, and glad the month turned out a little better than expected. Your pirate is quite adorable.
Definitely great to be aware of your finances and planning for the future.
I’m glad the month ended better than you thought it would. I love this time’s monster drawing.
I really need to start doing a Net Worth Report like yours! It’s so organized and I’m sure great for keeping you right on track!
He is so cute. I totally understand the monster…lol I got totally out of debt last year and it felt amazing but it was a long time coming. Keep up the good work and you will get there.
I can relate to your monsters. I just graduated college. I guess I have a whole lifetime ahead of me to take care of my monsters.
I think it is great that you share such personal info about your debt. It can be so overwhelming when there is not enough money to pay the bills.
Loving seeing that debt coming down each month for you and of course checking out what the monster will be 🙂 x
I wish I could say I am doing as good as you are at meeting your goals. I am far behind and this upcoming camping trip isn’t helping. But it may help me feel better, as I will be glad to get in touch with nature for a weekend at least.
Glad that May wasn’t so bad for you and that you are making progress. That little one is really one cute little pirate and they always have so much fun helping at things like garage sales. They also learn a little while they are at it.
Your son is so cute!! As for my goals for May thankfully I was able to finish it..
Your net worth report is a good idea. It seems like it keeps you on track so you don’t get away from your goals. The pirate is too cute! Glad he helped you at your yard sale, they are a lot of work.
VEry cute, love the monster drawing!
great job it’s so hard to pay & get the credit cards down!
This is for sure a big problem to tackle. I’m working towards financial goals too! I think they are important to have!
Making goals is the first step to getting rid of your debt monster! Much success to you Amanda!
This is the first monster post I’ve seen of yours. Not sure where you started, but you are doing an awesome job! Keep up the good work!
That is a great picture. I love seeing kids expressing their creative sides and stepping aways from technology sometimes.
The colored monster is very cute, so cute… Congratulations for a good net worth report for the month of May. Keep it up,.
Your pirate is a doll! Good job on battling your monster.
Looks like you are definitely still kicking that monster’s butt! And what a cute pirate! He is such a sweetie
Woohoo for May turning out much better than you thought. And your little pirate is just so cute!
It’s nice to know you’re creeping closer to your goal line! I love the drawing and the cute pirate. 😉
love that monster drawing… which this post reminds me, I need to clean out the garage/house so we can have a yard sale.. so much crap still in totes & boxes from moving last Oct, lol
i’d really need a yard sale, i have too many things collecting (yeah i’m kinda’ addicted to collect things)… it would be much easier with a cute little helper like u had 🙂
Ohh, the month of may was fairly nice to you.
Congratulations, I’m glad May was a great month for you. Your little man is absolutely adorable and so is his drawing.
Really cute colorful monster. Your son is really handsome! Congrats on a good month!
Finances can be a real monster! I have a monstrous student loan that I will be paying for many many more years. Wish someone would kill it already, LOL
Love that quote at the beginning, very apt. Bravo for being so accountable to those evil money monsters! I’m a budget crazy lady, so I feel ya. 🙂
Glad to know you’re getting nearer to your goals and plans.
It’s so good that you are staying on top of your finances. Go mom!
Ay Ay Captain for your Little Cute Captain and that monster drawing was also cute.
Wow. May’s a good month for you.
