If you feel pressured to spend a lot of money today, don’t give in. If friends feel like going out for an elaborate dinner, suggest a pizza instead. If everyone’s got that latest gadget and you’re feeling left out, just focus on the fact that you’ll have more cash in the future. You need to keep yourself as far away from shopping temptations as possible. Use your creativity to save your cash. It’s sharp and will enable you to have fun while you save money.

Sure, go ahead and take a romantic risk. Just be ready for it to turn out differently from what you expect. Keeping your sense of humor engaged and your expectations low will help immensely.

Your partner might see constructive criticism as overly interfering or nitpicking. Hey, what can you do? They’re in a sensitive mood. You don’t need to tiptoe around them, but do be considerate.

You’re being pulled in two directions, but that’s nothing new. What is new is wondering if either side is actually worth it. You have more room for change now than you’ve ever realized before. You owe it to your own sense of stability and security to finally choose.
