Restrictions aren’t much fun to live with, but they can be helpful in teaching you the value of something. If you’ve been indulging in too much shopping, too many rich foods, excessive couch time, or something else that’s equally bad for you, call a moratorium on it for a few days. By going without, you’ll be reminded of how much you enjoy your guilty pleasures and that you can do without them. Save the splurges for infrequent occasions.

Seize the initiative and ask that crush out for coffee. It’s a low-pressure way to get to know them without having to commit to a formal date. Keep things casual and be sure to avoid hot-button topics like politics.

You and your partner met another couple and hit it off like gangbusters – at first. However, there’s no need to hold onto this pair if they turn out to be a couple of jokers. Deal yourselves a new hand.

Wouldn’t it be fun to watch all the showoffs go down in flames? Life isn’t that cut and dry, though. Even imagining it sets you up for your downfall, so hope the world’s bank accounts are healthy instead.
