Hello @eddie-earner It was a good week for me as far as investments and savings. Check out my post here:

Also, congratulations to @chrisparis and @no-advice for being the lucky winner of the WheelOfNames spin.

It's good to see @susie-saver powered up again this week growing the account. Did you participate in the Hive PUD day today?

Finally, I just returned home as I went out to vote in our May 1st run-off election in our county. After we finished, we decided to get some take out from our favorite bar-be-que restaurant. Total cost $49. When I logged on and just your TIP just now, I had to laugh about the spending money on take out. Yes, I'll have to make up for the $49 spent today. But in my defense, we delicious food we bought was worth it. I did include a chef salad that will last at least 3 days with the two of us eating on it. That's my justification, mind you!

But you're correct. We have to think about how and when we spend to see areas where we can save. I've been doing that diligently for a while. When weak moments occur, I have to give in because I'm thrifty and not overly indulgent.

As Weight Watchers always said, "don't beat yourself up about it. Just do better next time." Thanks WW for the reminder. I have to say though, this restaurant has the best Southern Potato Salad in Texas. Now, let me go find $49 to replace this expense.

Hope everyone had a good week of saving and investing.

For those who are trying to decide whether to participate in the Saturday Savers Club, please read the post above. Starting small is the key to success as mentioned last week.

See you next week and keep on track until then.

Hehe - sometimes takeout is the only thing that will do 😍. The food you have in the States sounds soooooo delicious. I'm looking forward to making a trip one time - I might never step outside eating houses 😂.

I think it is right to have treats every now and then, within your budget, otherwise it can be too much of a grind and then people give up. When we're looking at personal survival budgets in our business courses, we always make people factor in things like festivals and anniversaries, gift-giving and small treats.

Actually, that would be a good challenge - ideas for money-saving or no cost treats! I'll try and remember that for a future post.

Yes, @susie-saver is doing fine - much better than I did my first time round 😂.

Great to see you and good to see your wonderful progress. Have a lovely week.
