A recent big purchase could leave you feeling like you paid more than you should have, but that’s just your fear talking. It’s normal to have buyer’s remorse, but you did what you thought was right and there’s no going back. It could take some time for your cash reserves to get back up to a level you’re comfortable with, so speed up the process by tightening up some expenditures. Cut back wherever you can.

Look for people who are definitely on your side today. You need the support of good friends and family members who can clarify your perspective and point you in more interesting directions.

You’re going to have to compromise, and you might feel like you’re getting the short end of the stick. That’s not what’s really happening, though, so take a deep breath and move forward together.

Is your life a bad dream or a fantasy? That depends on how you look at it, of course. If the image of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps strikes your fancy, then you’ll get a chance to make that a reality.
