“More with Less”

I now need to turn to the OctoMom on Dr. Phil for a good laugh. Unfortunately yesterday in Tucson, my man Tiger Woods was eliminated from his first tournament back after being out of golf competition for eight months.

My little brother will be in town visiting this weekend, and one of the things we had planned was to see Tiger on Saturday. That’s not going to happen. I’m supposed to attend the It’s Your Money Workshop this Saturday instead… Though, the more I think about, the more I realize it’d be much better for me to attend the workshop instead of the golf tournament.

My brother’s first visit in at least 6 months, and I had to make sure he had his own money, for his own food. I have very little money for a weekend that quite frankly, rarely happens. When I think about what I should have per month, and what I owe (in bills, rent, car payments, etc.) per month, someone with reasonable budgeting skills would have saved, or would have budgeted a sufficient amount of money for a weekend like this – and I clearly did not.

So I’m happy we’re going to the It’s Your Money Workshop this Saturday. I’m looking forward learning how best to budget my finances. Which really isn’t much, but I’ve seen first-hand how just a little, can feel like a lot.

Even though my brother and I won’t be going to see Tiger in Tucson, we will be getting some valuable information on Saturday, AND we’ll still get to see our Lakers beat the Suns again on Sunday. Should be a good weekend…

Hope yours is too
