Saving Money Isn’t Everything

I have been a saving money fiend for a while now.  Because I didn’t have much, saving money became an obsession.  I put saving money above all else…including piece of mind.  What I mean is, when it came to recreation with the kids (or on my own), I didn’t do any because it only represented money going out.

Last week, I decided to loosen the purse strings a little.  The girls and I ate out a time or two last week.  Friday, we went to see Monsters vs. Aliens (unfortunately NOT in 3D).  On Saturday, I took the girls to Dave and Busters, where we at then played games (at least until my oldest lost all of the tickets and had a fit…so we left).

What I am getting at is that you should not save money to the exclusing of all else.  You can spend a little money to make the people in your life happy.  Last week, we went to D&B’s (which I had a coupon for a free $20 game card if you bought one).  This week, we are going bowling.  I have a coupon for an hour of free bowling for up to 4 people.  Grandma is going with us.
