[quote=Anonymous]Changed careers and now work on a school schedule.  If the kids have a snow day, I have a snow day. No more panicking or wasting vacation days. It meant I'll likely never make 6 figures, and dh can't take certain business risks because we have less of a cushion, but I am grateful that he makes just enough money to make this possible and we agree that a giant house and fancy neighborhood isn't necessary.

I am working on scaling back on "stuff". Recent example, why do we have a billion water bottles and travel cups?  Every household member keeps the one most functional one, not the one with the best superhero on it. Also, makeup. I laid it all put by category and kept one of each. Got rid of little sample products and extra bottles. Everything fits in one small case. I toss things that annoy me, like the kids kazoo, when he's not looking.

I take time for myself. A morning in the park with a good book does wonders. And I give dh the same flexibility. We both deserve to take care of ourselves.

I know what to splurge on and what to save on. I've scaled back on even occasional indulgences like pedicures. $40 is a lot for a fleeting experience. Taking the time to do it myself also looks and feels good, and I bought decent tools to do it right. [/quote]
