Treating yourself

Saving money is much like going on a diet, if you don't reward yourself for a good job done then you will not continue to save money. This year we will be receiving a sizable tax refund. Much of it is earmarked for paying off some large bills. About 25% of it is destined for the savings account. We have also allocated 5% of the refund to be spent as "reward money".

Each family member will be given some money to waste as they see fit. My husband the golfer will be getting a new pair of golf shoes along with other golf items. Our daughter might be either saving hers or buying some electronic item. I am not the sexy lingerie type of woman but I will be getting some new clothes that are not for work and tickets to a local event for a night out.

We will be doing our part to boost the local economy by spending, will you be doing the same?
