Extras
Beings this is a Living within our means and loving it journey, I did get my nails done because I felt I really needed and wanted to get them done, one had broke and they just did not look nice. The appreciation thing I mentioned above kicked in mega because I had to give up something to get them done. I have a been extra excited and appreciative about them all week.

We are really finding out what’s important, now that we are not spending money on every whim. Like our grandchildren……….We always knew they were important but it just seems different now.

Next I’m going to talk about delayed gratification the ability to wait in order to obtain something that one wants.
We are finding like any good habit delayed gratification can be learned, and that is what all this is teaching us. Studies have been done on the benefits of delayed gratification and some of them are a more positive, self-motivated person. Being able to delay gratification, builds more thriving marriages, greater career satisfaction which leads to higher incomes, and better health. Who couldn’t use more of all that.
