Money Troubles

Hey friends :)
I hope your weekend was as lovely as YOU!! At the same time, I hope your week is moving in the right direction, and I hope you're saving money and budgeting when you can.. remember to drop those pennies whenever you get the opportunity!!


Today's post may be brief, but I just felt like relaying some of my thoughts.


I have found that when I go to spend money, whether it be a dollar or 30 dollars, I really stop and think about where my money is going, and if I should be saving it for other things that I'll need in the near future.  I know it's not easy to deny yourself that new pair of jeans or soda at the gas station (these are just the things that give me trouble) but you really do feel better if you tell yourself you have enough pairs of jeans, and you don't really need the soda, and substitute it for water or something at home.  Now, I'm not saying, and never will say, to not treat yourself every now and then... that's just silly.  It is important to give yourself little gifts every once and a while, to satisfy cravings that could intensify if they're not met.  It's like when you are hungry, eat, before you're starving, and OVEReat. Catch what I'm saying?


That's just my little tidbit of advice for the day... let yourself have little things you want when you really think it's okay.  But pay attention to your gut feeling when it's saying "you know you're going to want to spend money next week on that vacation"... because you know it's right!!!


Have a great week!!
