When was the last time you put yourself at someone else’s service? True, it can be a humbling or even humiliating experience to do someone else’s bidding, but it can also be very rewarding. Find a friend or relative who is overwhelmed by their life right now and let them know that you’re there for them. Offer to run errands, help out with babysitting, or just listen to them vent their frustrations. You’ll be surprised by how satisfied you feel.

When someone uses sweet words to make a good impression, you need to look beyond the vocabulary and see what’s actually happening. The quickest way to your heart is through actions today.

Your ability to adapt to any situation could be put to use today. Your loved one may need you to step into a different role than you usually play. When you make it work, you’ll both be pleased.

Keep saving. Financial freedom down the line means sacrificing now, and not just your time. Enjoy being informal, especially if that equates with being cheap.
