I'm going to spend money tonight. I am going to waste money tonight. I am going to regret it all tomorrow.
I have had an unusually tight rein on my spending this month so far, I have spent far far less than I normally do by mid month. Last night I nearly worked myself into tears because I was SOOOO sick of spaghetti but that's all that was in my pantry. (It's cheap and I work under the code of: If I don't buy it I wont want it.)
So to relieve some of my pent up money saving stress, and to make myself feel like I have a life- I invited a few girlfriends to go out dancing with me tonight. I could do it frugally but I am tired of calculating and doing without. I have money in the budget for this but I haven't been spending it. Last night I saw the consequences of saving even my spending money.
Tonight I dance. Tonight I drink. Tonight I buy a round for my friends because I want to enjoy my life more than my fat bank account.
And tomorrow I will be hit with a major emergency and really regret blowing the money tonight. That's the way the money gods work. Their vindictive like that.
Bring it on money gods. Bring it.
Bring on the consequences

I think is as unhealthy to be ALWAYS saving as it is to be ALWAYS saving...
You have money in your budget for this and you've had a very good month so far...
Please have a fantastic nite tonite...
Please please don't feel guilty in the morning... Try to look on the month as a whole and not get obsessed by one night's spending..

Take your walk on the wildside and who knows, perhaps the gods will let you slide this time.

For some reason, this entry reminds me of the song, "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack.
