My cleaning ladies

July 21st, 2009 at 07:23 pm

I have two young women who come once a week to clean my house. They work as a team and are very fast.
One of them is in the process of getting a divorce and has 3 children in school.
The other lady also has 3 children in school and a husband who does carpentry. Of course, nothing much is going on around here, so he is not working.
These hard working gals are the sole support of their families, but I do wish that they would handle their money more wisely.
Every day, they stop and buy their lunch and something to drink. They eat right before coming to my house. I want so much to tell them how much they would save if they would just brown bag it and take a few minutes to eat lunch here. Or stop at the park a few miles away.
But it is none of my business so I keep my mouth shut.

The braves won their last two games ($2), the stock market went up yesterday ($1) and I got a check from pinecone for doing a survey ($3), so I will add that to my $20 challenge money.
Prev. total $11,466.00
today 6.00
new total $11,472.00

    So many people get into that habit, and then it's hard to break out of the rut.

    Maybe it is hard for them to think of food that does not need to be refrigerated or carried around?

    you wouldn't believe the number of people who think buying is cheaper than doing at home! I've had people trying to convince me that this was a better way to go!
