I've made it to the day before payday with $30. I have started taking out money on a weekly basis as I find that easier to manage. I have had a very long couple of weeks. My husband was complaining on the phone last night about having to eat out for 3 meals a day. I'm having trouble feeling bad for him.. I want to feel bad for him, but I don't. I've been cooking and cleaning up meals for all these days, and am craving a meal out. The kids too have been really wanting it. On Tuesday evening, I had almost given in to the temptation, and did not and am genuinely thankful.
That said, today is such a beautiful day, we are going to walk over to our neighborhood McDonalds, I am going to have my free coffee, and maybe a little burger, the kids will get their long sought after "happy" meals. It will be fun, it will be a treat, and I will walk away knowing that I made it to the end of the week and have the money to do it with.
Then for supper we will have a nice nutritionally balanced meal, and I will be grateful for the little break in the monotony.
Why not wait until after lunch, head to Mcdonalds and only have an Ice cream? Much cheaper you get your coffee and they get their treat too!
ReplyDeleteThat is an excellent idea, the only thing I don't like about it is that I didn't think of it before mentioning the Happy Meals to the kids :( But I will definitely do that next time!
