Money can’t buy me love…

… but it can cause you stress!
 

Unlike my weight, I’m definitely not going to be throwing numbers around on my blog with regards to our finances.   That’s clearly need to know information and well, you don’t need to know. 
 

That being said, John and I have done pretty well this year – no doubt in part to the fact that I haven’t bought new shoes in nearly 365 days.  I’ve also been good about planning meals out ahead of time so I’ve got less wasted food and we’ve cut back on going out to eat, etc. (although I would love more date nights every once in a while).
 

We have discovered that the biggest expense we have is definitely the dogs… do you know how much it costs to put them in boarding?  It pretty much doubles the cost of any trip away.  Good thing they’re worth it.
 

The other thing is, we’re in the midst of making a pretty big, amazing purchase.  Once it’s finalized, I’ll give more details (no, we’re not moving to Maine… don’t get excited) but that’s been the focus of our money talks as of late.
 

So, although this is a short and sweet post about money (or actually not about it), I can definitely say that I can cross this one off my list.
 

28. Become more financially responsible (John and I have a personal goal set)
 

I’ll give you all I’ve got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
but what I’ve got I’ll give to you
For I don’t care too much for money
For money can’t buy me love.
