You have to be able to put it into action, otherwise what good is it.

Well, I have found myself trying to get it together and save some money and then I will spend the extra frivously instead of putting any away. I really need to be putting some of the extra away.

I know the feeling. Sometimes you just get so sick and tired of going to work for bills and trying to save. Good natured it does not hurt to once in a blue moon to award yourself. It keeps your spirits up. I always have a polict that if I pay something or take care of something that really needs done (say that takes a month or so) I will reward the family with something for helping hang in there. last time it was a basketball hoop. It was $100 I could have used elsewhere but to see my husmand and daughter playing together is all the reward I need for myself since I cn not particioate. It still was an awesome gift to see father and daughter connecting. Not to mention that it motivates her with helping around here because she feels so good with the time spent with her dad. (mowing grass, raking yard).

I guess I see your point in rewarding yourself, we are building a room for the hubby in the garage, kind of a his room. my reward is peace and quiet, LOL.

That was a good one. I know myself sometimes I am thankful for second shift...especially when I am working first. Sometimes all that lovey dovey crap makes me closterphobic. SP?

No ladies, your husbands work hard, LOL, I see your point, it is good to set aside some funny money, or fun money to treat yourself and your family.

That may be possible seeing as gas prices dropped an extra penny this week.

I have 50 cents off a gallon for my fill up this week, so I hope it continues to drop. Maybe I will have a nice break after all.
