A way to spend money. As you stated, forgo the needs for the future you want? The momentary pleasures don't last long, but your future is greater, isn't it. Building on saving and managing my finances for the future is hard. There are things I have cut back on, things that need to be cut back. Still I can't let it all go. In order to have the things I want I must sacrifice now. W. Jackson That is a good question. There is always something else. A way to spend money.

Building on saving and managing my finances for the future is hard. There are things I have cut back on, things that need to be cut back. Still I can’t let it all go.

In order to have the things I want I must sacrifice now.

For me, it was through CC rewards and surveys. For you, it might be something different.

We also have a Starbucks credit card; we pay it off every month, but use the grace period for free and it helps track our spending. It provides for a good amount of free coffee beverages, and we have a refurbished Breville espresso machine for home use that we picked up on EBay. It's not just about sacrificing those small pleasures, it's finding create ways to enjoy them without busting your budget. cheers We work on that balance daily – We’ve gone to the U-Brew system; we can produce high quality wines and beers at a fraction of the cost, so we can enjoy them at home more frequently without derailing our budget excessively.
