We've been living on a budget for about a month now, and I've realized a somewhat unexpected difference in our lives. Since money is not budgeted for previously "convenient" items like cable, eating out, frozen yogurt, running the heat all the time, and weekly trips to McKay! haha... I personally feel that we now experience a certain quality to things that we missed out on before.
We cook more home made meals and snacks (and are able to because we PLAN for them, what a novel idea!). Not having cable allows us more time to spend on our hobbies, playing games, and having conversations. We spend more time snuggling without the heat blaring. And Jon found a ton of new (old) reading materials after raiding his parents' basement over the holiday. Gosh. We can totally live without those "convenient" money-suckers.
Suckas!
