well i have been more on a budget lately and been having to make the decision between what is a want or a need. I went to CVS yesterday and used coupons and only spent $33. Compared to the $100+ I used to spend this is a big accomplishment. I think that these weddings I am in this year has forced me to start saving and getting prepared for the future…so I won’t be living paycheck to paycheck in the long run. It is a daily struggle but you just have to keep reminding yourself what is the long run picture is :)
