It's hard, and not always fun, but when you have a goal you want to reach it makes everything a little easier!<br /><br />And I would say that your fantastic internship and becoming homeowners are some pretty good goals! :)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134554993020171853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647181020343244206.post-32129809877703534392011-06-08T12:00:39.967-05:002011-06-08T12:00:39.967-05:00Wow, what a gorgeous picture!

I can totally relate with your post, I too have the tendency to always want to spend, and my hubby and I are in the same place where we're trying to cut back a little bit to prepare for things like a house as well. Whenever I think about a budget and reducing spending, I'm always like this seems so difficult! It's when you step back from the situation that you realize there is greater joy gained from the simple things in life, as well as financially security for the long run :)<br /><br />I just discovered your blog, what a great post and I love your blog!<br /><br />xoxo, <br /><br />Jane <br />www.inthepinkandgreen.blogspot.comJane {In The Pink & Green}https://www.blogger.com/profile/08916073136271415491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647181020343244206.post-9489686809473519422011-06-08T11:58:53.385-05:002011-06-08T11:58:53.385-05:00im right there with you! it is hard :/ but, you...im right there with you! it is hard :/ but, you're right, the long term goals are totally worth it :)<br /><br />norma-inthisworld.blogspot.comNormahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992166262685381216noreply@blogger.com
