Change of Plans

With the way the economy has been, it has caused a lot of people to change their everyday spending habits. Some people have opted to walk or take a bus rather than spending money on a car or gas. Fewer people are going out to dinner and cooking at home istead. A big change I had made is reducing my coffee intake from three cups to one or two a day.

It makes me feel better to know that my friends are in the same boat as me. We can agree on staying in and making margaritas rather than going out to a fancy martini bar. Although we don't have many cooking skills, we have chosen cooking dinner at home instead of paying for dinner out at a restaurant. Not only does this save us money, but we also can work on learning how to cook more than Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.

Everyone needs a fun night out every once in a while. However, we can no longer do that as often as we used to. This just makes the nights that we do go out more enjoyable and fun. We are taking everything in stride, and hopefully things will start looking on the up side soon.
