My name is Jiang Hong and I am over forty years old. Just when I thought I had settled down, all of a sudden, a family change allowed me to experience AA life. This happened a year ago, my husband unexpectedly got a higher paying job, and we had to deal with this new way of life for the sake of a happy life for the family.
Last year, my husband's job took it to a new level, and the new position meant a high salary, which in a way changed our family's finances. Although we have been married for many years, we have been living hard times all the time, trying to save money for the future of our children and buying a house.
My husband's new position has made a qualitative change in our salary level, and I was very happy when I heard the news, which means that our life will become more comfortable. However, it soon became clear to me that behind this happy news was a family change.
My husband and his mother proposed a new rule to adopt the AA system to manage family expenses. They thought that adopting the AA system would stimulate me to be more motivated and catch up with his salary level, so that the family's financial situation would be better. I was stunned to hear this proposal, and although I understood their intentions, it was still a significant change for me.
The new rules mean that we will share household expenses according to our own wages, rather than relying on a common family budget. In terms of household expenses, I have always been in charge, I will take care of the children, cook, buy vegetables, laundry, and even clean the house, and my salary is far less than my husband's. But the new rules are a bit unfair to me because it makes me feel that I don't have the right to my husband's high salary.
However, I chose to accept this change because I knew it was not just a personal issue, but a matter of integration for our family. For me, the hard work and effort that has taken years has become part of this family, and I don't want to let this family fall into chaos because of financial problems.
Facing my new lifestyle for the first time, I made some adjustments. I agreed to the AA system, but I also realized that it meant that I needed to be more motivated to raise my income in order to take on greater responsibility for family finances. I told my husband that I would redouble my efforts and strive to reach the salary level of 10,000 yuan as soon as possible.
My decision also caught the attention of my son, who was an important member of the family and was on my side. We encouraged each other, and I told him that family finances were a family problem as a whole and that we needed to work together to deal with it, not just share it.
On the first day of AA life, I actively took on part of the family's expenses. I made breakfast for myself, but my mother-in-law suddenly appeared and criticized me for eating "solo food". I explained that this was according to the new regulations, but the mother-in-law was clearly not very satisfied. My husband also came out to interject, but after seeing the makeup on my body, his words suddenly disappeared.
My mother-in-law reminded my husband that I used to be a girl who loved beauty, and after getting married, I never pursued beauty for the sake of my family. It made me realize that my decision made sense, that I had made a decision that I could afford without relying on the support of others.
While AA living presents some challenges, it also makes us revisit the issue of family finances. My husband eventually realized that my efforts over the years could not be measured in money. He apologized to me and put the paycard back in my hands, but I decided to continue to take on household expenses to show them that I had already played an important role in the family.
The new way of life made me feel my value, let me have more freedom, and made the family closer. AA life, although sometimes divisive, also gives us a deeper understanding of the true meaning of family and love.
