Renewed hope and a little deflation :)

This week I had a video come up on my subsciptions on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksbouCmI3JU

It was a welcome relief (you don't know how much) to see something inspiring! Living cheap to save is neither social, or fun - at least at times. While I've been sticking to the plan (in fact I've been spending less I'd say less than 10 dollars a week on food because my garden is in full production) it can be disheartening because the goal feels so far away.

I think too because I'm doing this alone it's a bit harder (but maybe it isn't lol I have nothing to compare it to) but meeting people and dating sucks with this lifestyle.... and saving takes longer too ;) I know that much at least.

I guess the reason say that is an old friend came into work today (you know the one) she's pretty much the opposite to me... she dives both feet in, she can rack up tens of thousands of debt in a day, on a whim and not blink. She introduced her new boyfriend - he's a great guy, successful businessman, polite, friendly and cute :) I am really happy for her.  She has a reasonably successful business (but her manic state would make you believe she's rivaling Donald Trump), but I'm not putting her down at all - I kind of admire her reckless abandon :). 

I am glad I got a bit of renewal before I had to endure the man parading hurricane aka as my old friend. While I love her and I'm happy for her - the end of summer takes with it the whimsy and September breaths in school day structure (at least it's my idea of it) and it's always a little depressing at first , but I do love the fall :) the harvest, the colors, cuddly nights with my kitty :) and honestly that makes it all worth it :).

 Be well, keep warm, and as always thanks for reading!
