A Closer Look at Budgets Sexy

I’ve had some pretty solid run-ins with money this week, and some not-so-fun ones, so I thought we’d take some time to divulge some of these with with y’all, and then see how YOUR weeks went over there :)  Money at no point sleeps even when we think we’re on top of it all! Here were the best deals of the week for me: Purchasing my new pair of shades!  $9.99 from TJMax and 1/10th of the pair I bought 2 months ago that I regretted and ended up selling on Craigslist ;) Turns out cheaper glasses make me happier!

And I couldn’t return them either since I bought them at an airport I at no point frequent! (Me = dumb) But now I’ve replaced them AND have an added $55 to boot!

What to Know About Budgets Sexy

Going on that road trip earlier this week!  We spent about $100 on gas and snacks/pointers/etc, but nothing clears the mind like some quick ocean visits with the family! More importantly, and getting points on the license!

You can bet I drove like a granny for the rest of the week after that too, haha… Getting dinged a $5.00 late fee on our cell phone bill :(  The first one I’ve gotten in a solid 2-3 years!  And we even have it automated!!

How Budgets Sexy Really Works

So I called and made sure everything was paid up 100%, and used this as another reminder to myself that we STILL require to pay attention to aspects even when they’re automated! Nothing TOO crazy overall in either department, but it’s consistently solid to watch out for these kinda aspects and be sure nothing stays recurring where we don’t genuinely wish them to be :)  Even though we’re all gonna make mistakes here and there no matter how hard we try!
