August Happiness Challenge -- Day 27

Rizz is proud of my $14

On Day 27, I was happy because there's cash in my wallet. I paid cash for my hair cut and color. I paid cash for the movie with my movie group. I paid cash for my prickly pear margarita and shrimp tapas with Joanna afterward. I paid cash for my groceries.

And yet I still have $14 left. I feel like a very good girl.

My finances on a macro level are still a mess. My property taxes have gone up and I'm still not saving enough for retirement.

But for the weekend of August 26-27, I'm under budget. And I insist on being happy about that.

If you want to play along, just come back here (meaning to this blog, not this individual post) each day in August, looking for the Happy Cub. Every day I will try to have a post with the headline: August Happiness Challenge: Day [X]. Leave a comment and then post your own daily happiness, with AugustHappiness Challenge in the title to make it easy to find.
