setting the groundwork for future vacations..

Hi Blog fam!
I hope you are enjoying your vacation.
I know often kids in group homes do not get to go on vacation, but your time will come.
 It is important now for you to set the ground work for when you leave the system.
You are writing down your goals,
 talking with teachers or counselors to see how you can get to the right sources for future college or trade school,
 making friends that are about something and going to class EVERY day!
  saving some of your allowance, if you get $13 you put atleast $5 in your savings account.
 going shopping for clothes that make sense, not eat all your money... Urban outfitters, modells, joyce leslie, topshop, target, (don't play, they have good gear, lol)..
 pinching a little off that $100 for clothes and putting $5-10 of that in your savings account..RIGHT???

You and I know that you don't get alot of money, but saving one penny for 80 years if better than not saving at all.
..ask the 88 year old man who saved all his penny's from when he was a boy, he was a millionaire and did not know it!!
You don't have to be a millionaire but you do have to be responsible for your financial future and what better time than now?
Always look at life like you WILL be here the next day and if you are how can you be more comfortable than when you were in the group home?
 There is no cinderella or cinderfella for us group home kids, there is only reality, YOU MUST SAVE and PLAN for you FUTURE!!
its that simple, if you don't you cannot complain about how your life sucks and why x has more than you.
When you don't have parents to back you up, you have to rely on the universe, God and YOURSELF to have your back.
Not in an angry way..be proud that you are responsible for you, you could be an autistic adult that needed 24/7 supervision. Life is ALWAYS great, when you have mind, body and health!!
God and life has been good to you, you are here, still standing after all you went through! You deserve an applause for making it through the hardest part of life, childhood.
Don't forget when your older, have no fear, you are in charge and you will NOT repeat the mistakes your parents made, your planning, and making moves for the future!!
You are blessed, favored and loved, xo Tanya
Don't let anyone steal your joy, you deserve happiness!!
smile and be kind to another kid today, you may make their day!
