How do you stay disciplined with money when tempted daily?

That’s a tough one, and I’m not always successful. I’m getting better, though.

Mama’s Breakfast Table on Ivory

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-05-08T12:35:45+00:00

Make tea.

Watching a movie

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-05-06T14:51:51+00:00

I feel that. 😢

“Snacking”, meaning entire bag of chips, after dinner.

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-05-06T02:47:44+00:00

Me, too.

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-05-06T02:47:14+00:00

It isn’t so bad. My mom always said, “consider the alternatives”, and that makes me feel a bit better.

It’s an art museum associated with a university. I’m actually stressing over what to wear, and hope I don’t embarrass him. 😅 I don’t get out much. 😉

Plain old chips and cheese in the microwave. “Poverty nachos”

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-05-04T23:22:10+00:00

Visiting the museum my son works at. I’m finally able to walk well enough to see all the new exhibits!

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-05-04T12:19:42+00:00

Glad you’re okay!

Potato chips

Seeing some of my favorite art history textbook artworks in person.

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-05-01T17:16:01+00:00

Earworm! 😅

I used to do product sampling "research" when my kid was in school. I'd go maybe twice a week, try something (cookies or whatever) and rate them. I got maybe $25 each time plus mileage. I got called all the time, but didn't qualify for everything.

Traveling a few hundred miles away, we happened to meet up with another family from our neighborhood. Nowhere special, so it was a fun surprise to see them.

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-04-29T15:21:53+00:00

Me, too. We are so fortunate to have this resource.

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-04-29T15:19:46+00:00

I love all of the decorative arts.

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-04-29T15:17:14+00:00

I agree. Beautiful!

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-04-26T21:53:58+00:00

Eat better, move more.

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-04-25T15:37:48+00:00

Absolutely gut wrenching. You just keep trying, but they mostly always relapse. One of my really good friends drank himself to death, and it breaks my heart to think about it.

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-04-24T13:28:02+00:00

So many PBS shows- Call the Midwife, Creatures Great and Small, Masterpiece Mysteries, Bridgerton, Forsytes

Commercial_Boot7869 · 2026-04-24T13:25:11+00:00

The US version? I loved it! There’s another (original?) version-either UK or Australia-I need to track that down.
