Sometimes when people say the right thing, they’re not just cheering up the person who’s crying for help; they’re often helping themselves as well. You have a lot to offer others, and your friends could come back and reciprocate your help in some manner in the future. Take advantage of it. One good turn always deserves another, and for you, that good turn could well be beneficial for months to come!

Your friends’ infighting is enough to drive you crazy. But don’t get carried away in their drama. Offer yourself up as an objective observer, but refrain from becoming the judge or jury in any disputes.

Lots of little things need to be tended to today, but you can still enjoy some time with your partner. Set aside a block of time to take care of the boring stuff. When the time’s up, it’s your time to play.

Sharing your feelings is one thing, but sharing your financial strategy is something else altogether. Schmoozing with friends can get costly in more ways than just picking up the tab if you’re not careful. It’s hard to feel like a desperado when you’re socializing over a good meal with friends — but try to remind yourself you act alone.
