Now is not the time to go on a shopping spree or be otherwise careless with your money. You have two opposites working against each other: your sense of responsibility and your urge to shower those you love with gifts. Listen to your more practical side and understand that your friends would rather have you pinching pennies and free of stress than worried about what bills you’re going to pay first! You can be generous with your time instead. They will appreciate it much more.

Sometimes a friend’s input provides some much-needed perspective. Is it possible you’re projecting something you’re not aware of when it comes to love? Ask someone with a kind and honest heart.

Dismissing an answer because it’s obvious is silly. Frankly, you and your partner have a solution staring you in the face. It’s cheap, easy, and quick. Why do you think that things have to be difficult to work?

It’s hard for you to get excited when there are no challenges before you, but that in and of itself is your challenge for the day. Don’t start a new project just for the sake of doing it. Wrapping things up in other areas could actually net you a pretty penny.
