This year, in order to save money I’m not taking my annual
vacation. Instead I will be doing a staycation which is really not as
much fun but will save me a considerable amount of money. I’m thinking of
it as delayed gratification because being financially free will be so worth
this temporary struggle. And yes I said struggle!
Lately I’ve been good in the financial sense. I’ve been avoiding
frivolous expenses such as getting my nails done and eating out but for some
reason a part of me feels I deserve a reward in fact I can almost hear this
little voice telling me that since I’m saving so much money from not taking
a “real” vacation I can certainly reward myself by getting my nails done
or eating out a few times this week. But I know it’s a slippery slope!
I think life is about balance but I know I’m still new in my financial
recovery and too much free spending just might make me relapse into old
patterns. What do you do? How do you find balance?
