Would you call this selfish of me or fair ?
I have 2 credit cards that I never fully paid off (plus a few medical bills). And my husband has been helping me pay them down. 😅 i feels like it’s mostly fair cause he’s my man, and he’s the one who’s supposed to make sure we’re good on all aspects. If I need help, he’s supposed to support me.

Be selfish
I choose this. The road less traveled. A path people envy but say they never could do. A slower life, moving at my own perfect pace. Meeting new places and faces and learning to be a better me. On my own. It’s liberating to be independent and brave to keep following your dreams.
