ouch

Cynicism winning, bass and music so loud they were rattling my heart strings, foot a little too heavy on that speedy pedal: this is how I drove to my finance course on Wednesday. It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve gone (one class missed, one class cancelled). In that short time alone my brilliant financial plan managed to not only veer completely off course, but it took a few swift kicks to the kidneys, too. Sigh. Time to rework the budget… and apply the frozen peas to my lower right side.

I suppose the point of sharing this story is to encourage you; although it may not seem like it. Taking a good hard look at how we spend our money is just that: good and hard. But we should still do it.
