The Money.

     Money never really mattered to me. When most people say that it's because they don't want to look greedy or too capitalistic. With me, it's actually true. I just don't understand money and I'm pretty sure Alan Greenspan is some kind of space alien. One of the problems is I just never understood it, or kept track of it.
     Luckily, Catie is a phenom when it comes to money, keeping track of it, and letting me know if I can spend it. I actually asked her if money was something she could help me with. She said yes. Since getting married I just listen to her and everything has worked out really well. I haven't had to think of it much. Then the pregnancy happened.
     While this may seem completely unrelated, hang with me for a moment and all will become clear.
     
     Leaving work I slowly go over the speed bump leaving the parking lot. There is this loud bang as my car bottoms out. Then my car starts making a terrible sound, like the muffler's busted. Long story short, turns out I busted an engine mount. Seriously, I busted an engine mount going over a speed bump. You may be asking yourself, "Self, why is he talking about a busted engine mount on a blog about pregnancy?" Well, I'm glad you asked.
     Turns out, the way I know I never really thought about money, is because now I am. Before I even knew the repair cost, I started thinking about the price of college in 18 years. I hope it's not going to be like this forever. I hope my child will be able to earn money by the time they're 12. That's long enough, right?
