You’ll want to be especially careful to keep all of your communication on the up-and-up right now. The more honest and open you can be with the people you encounter the better. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that if you tell someone what you think they want to hear that they’ll like you better or respect you more. That’s more untrue than you realize. It’s much better to be direct with your criticism than to sugarcoat everything you say. Don’t worry. They can handle it.

Something in your love life may be bringing up some of the very deepest, most heartfelt emotions in your soul. Whether they’re positive or otherwise (or, likely, in between), you need to talk about it.

It’s time to initiate a plan, but how? You don’t know the first thing about being thrifty. The tool of choice is the list, so start making them and checking them twice.
