Like I have said before, and I will say again, and again. I am not going to stop spending. I simply want to control my spending more. I am out of control. I don't think about paying rent or bills until a week before they are due, then struggle to come up with the money. I hate that! I want to have the money in the bank and not have to worry. That my friends, is why I started this, to help me and to encourage me to do just that!
Now my problem, in 2 weeks my little sister has her semi formal at school. Now my parents did it for me, but it is getting harder for my money financially to provide all this to my sister now being a single mom. I feel like she should be given this opportunity and so do my parents. My mom is paying for her ticket, and my dad was getting her a dress. As I talked to her she was telling me about one she really wants, but she has to settle for the one half the price. I know, exactly what we all should do, but when I was growing up, I didn’t have to settle (very much).
So I decided to invite my sister and her friend to come stay with me for the weekend and we will go shopping here. I do have to pick them up and drop them off, but it would be cheaper then both of them getting a bus. I know they are really excited but I know it’s going to be pricey for me. At this point it is more about the memories of having my sister here and exploring this "big city" with me.
I remember when I was about 13 or 14 my older sister took me out go the movies and Starbucks. I was so happy and it was such a big deal for me. To this day I still remember every detail. Just knowing that I was important enough for my sister to spend the day with me made me feel so special. Now I want to try to do that for my little sister.
Although it is going to cost me a little, I am still going to try to keep with somewhat cheap. Making my sister happy is what is most important to me.
