SAVE FOR A RAINY DAY

I have asked myself, why do we feel the need to spend money, especially when we don't have it? I come to different conclusions at different times. Here are a few...

We are hungry.

We are trying to fill a void.

We are lonely.

We feel that we NEED something.

We feel entitled.

We are bored.

We are running away from something

(like a messy house)

So here are some solutions that don't cost anything, but will make you feel better, and keep a buck in your pocket.

Serve somebody.

Eat something you already have.

Play a game with your kids.

Make a craft with stuff you already have.

(I know you have all kinds of crafting treasures)

Call a friend, or someone you want to be your friend.

Visit a Nursing home.

Clean your Kitchen.

Turn Up the Radio and DANCE.

Go Running.

Read a book you've been meaning to read.

Write your spouse a love note.

Organize your pantry.

Paint a Picture.

Tell yourself you are amazing 10 times.

Think about what you REALLY NEED.

I know these things will bring happiness, where spending money that you don't have just makes those feelings worse. Give it a try for yourself, tell me how it turns out.
