5 Ways to Spend the Week When You’re Over Budget
You guessed it. I’m over budget for the month of March. Not just a few dollars over, but I’ve increased my budget this month by between one and two hundred dollars, I’m guessing (wow, that is sad that I don’t even know the number). Of course, I’m lucky (if you call it that), since I [...]
