Hey Mama,

Have you ever sat down and really thought about your ideal date, or your ideal family vacation? And I don’t just mean the overall activity, but the things that bring you closer and build relationships that will last through fights, sickness and heartache? I’m sure if I asked you what a date was you should spout out what the world says is a date, which is going out to eat at a high end restaurant. Now maybe that is something you would enjoy, but does it really build connection? Whenever I go out to eat no matter who it’s with I don’t feel like we really get to talk, or at least about anything deeper than how was your day. Whenever my family says they want to go out to eat I invite them over to my house instead because I feel when you are at home you stay longer than just the meal and dive into more in depth conversations. 

Going out to eat is so not my thing, so I never find myself wanting to go on dates, because that is the picture the world has painted it to be. 

Now you may be wondering what this has to do with budgeting, but I promise you just like last week when we talked about how important your fundamental needs are for you to be truly capable of diving into your finances. Knowing what you and your family enjoy and consider a true connection covers more than just connecting and building relationships. 

By sitting down and discovering what you all enjoy doing and not doing will flow over into your finances and if you already know the activities that bring you joy, you can easily and quickly find a more frugal way of doing them. 

So go grab your pen and paper mama because you are not going to want to forget today's juicy tips.
