In financial matters there are profound truths in a nutshell. Such as: Don't spend money before you earn it, pay your debts on time, don't buy things you don't need and don't put your eggs in one basket". I try, as much as possible, to follow some advice, but sometimes I have fallen into temptations. Especially in buying things I don't need. hahaha.
That's great about the jacket, it must look "cool" on you. But better to follow the routine of feeding the squirrels. That moment with nature will be good for you and your wife, and for the squirrels who must be happy to see you.
Hope you have a nice Friday today, my friend. Hugs to you
Definitely, those are foundational financial behaviors that will make life far easier! Treating yourself occasionally is okay, I think. I try to treat myself when I achieve something special or for milestones and such. This creates a kind of cycle of self-motivation to push yourself to that next big goal.
This is a wool jacket so I'll have to wait a few months to wear it. It's so hot/humid here right now. The squirrels have been a Godsend for us. We've really enjoyed them this year. I wish you a wonderful weekend Nancy! Take care.
