The Money Pit

You work,
You spend,
The cycle never ends.
The more I make,
The more "they" take,
I need to save-
A seemingly impossible concept to grasp;
Especially while renovating a new home!
Now I know why they call homeownership a money pit!
It doesn't even compare to the pit in my stomach...
That's life:
Now if you'll excuse me,
I've got to get to work!
