I've accomplished my goal for this month of saving $1000. It hasn't been a struggle, but some months I think it will. It feels so much better to work and achieve a goal than it would have felt to go and buy a new outfit. (Although looking good does make me very happy.)
This should be a good weekend. Fiance won 1000 at poker last night, so he should be in a good mood for a while. Making money is his favorite thing to do. He'll probably just use this money to keep funding his habit, which is fine because I think an idle man is a dangerous man. He has more than enough hobbies to keep him out of trouble and some of them we do together.
Shopping for the last couple of years has been the thing I did while he was playing golf, but I have to find a new hobby this year. I'm more interested in taking care of the house and gardening than in the past and since we've become closer to the neighbors, it's nice to spend time outside. In the afternoon on the weekends we go out on the boat and relax. Summer is definitely our favorite season. It seems like it will never get here at this point. It was snowing when I came into work this morning. I'm not complaining though because the snow makes me want to stay indoors where there aren't too many temptations to spend money.
