If you’ve had money woes lately, they probably have much less to do with saving than with spending. You might be focusing on fixing the wrong problem. Take a look at where your money is going. Are you throwing it out the window or investing in worthwhile things? Get some objective, third party insight, preferably from a professional. Your friends would love to help, but they just don’t truly understand the situation. Plus, it isn’t wise to mix business and pleasure.

Stop thinking and start doing! Overanalyzing your plan of attack when it comes to dating will only send you on a downward spiral of second thoughts. You need to act now if you want some sizzling memories to ponder later.

Too much of a good thing could be bad for you. Overindulging to distract yourself from relationship problems doesn’t help. Try to get to the root of your behavior.

It’s hard to admit you have no control over how things add up. The outcome isn’t exactly up to you at this point, if it ever was. But you’re intelligent enough to take this bit of grit and start turning it into a future pearl.
