Saving log - $5 tip box
Spending log - $12 lunch
It might be just me but payday seemed extra, extra welcome today.
Not a lot going on but somehow there's more on my shopping list this weekend: a battery for my heart monitor, new set of running tights (DH suggested I cut the old ones off at the knee and use nail polish or something to stabilize the spandex. I might try it, but I'd prefer to buy a new set when it doesn't work out), a cell phone for the June vacation.
I can console myself in thinking that no matter how much I think I'm spending myself into the poorhouse, it won't be but a drop in the bucket compared to this
N.B. The guy's story referenced above has a very interesting "rest of the story" as Paul Harvey would say.

I remember we wanted to refi in 2003 when rates were historically low (before now anyway) and I worried we wouldn't be able to qualify on one income alone (we signed the papers the month our first child was born). Looking back, it's laughable. Of course, they didn't blink. They were lending 2-3 times as much without a blink to people with the same household income.

Yeah, it's amazing how we can all be very emotional in our decisions, and that's not always a good thing.
