become financially secure

I despise saying that. With a burning passion. I got my own place a little over a month ago, and I ALMOST borrowed money from my mom just so I could pay my bills. But somehow, everything worked out, and I didn’t have to. But if she wasn’t donating food to me every so often, I’d definitely not have as much food as I have. She’s so caring, and always willing to provide for her children. I’d like to one day be able to be completely independent, but also give back to her what she’s given me over the years, including the past month and a half since I left her home. Every week has been stressful because after getting groceries, gas, and daycare expenses, I fret over whether or not I’m going to have enough money by the end of the month. Butttt, I’m watching my p’s and q’s every so closely and doing everything I can to have ends meet. I think though, by the end of next month, I’ll have everything worked out to where I just might be able to start saving! I’ve got my fingers crossed. :)
