Whether you consider yourself a spender or a saver, we all go through periods where we must tighten our belts to make our dollars go further. Lately, as so many continue to wait on unemployment checks or they’re dealing with pay cuts at work, we’ve had to make sacrifices. With the right approach, though, you can implement some tools that can serve you when times may not be so thin. Your approach to money doesn’t have to be a dreadful affair. More often than not, after a good hard look at the inflow and outflow of our spending ability, we have a better sense of control even if we might be in the red this month.
When we first found out we’d have to work from home, the mandate may have come with cautious excitement or measured dread. Working from home can have a bunch of great benefits, but it comes with a lot of drawbacks, too. Many of us haven’t spent an extended time working at home like this and don’t have the domestic infrastructure to stay productive while gleaning the upsides to the novel circumstance. Hopefully, by implementing a few of the steps below, you’ll be better equipped for this brave new world we find ourselves.
If you find yourself making more food for your household these days, why not experiment with a few new combinations that you might not otherwise? There is a world of spice out there that we so infrequently explore as we slide into the habit of our typical staples. As an added bonus, some spice that may heretofore be unknown to your pantry can actually contribute to your stress management. We’ve been using spices for about as long as we’ve been using fire and the added flavoring wasn’t just to please the palate.
With your children (and ours) at home right now we wanted to be able to offer support and fun to them as well as you. Every weekday afternoon we will release new videos and resources such as story time, guided meditations for children, a printable page from our coloring book, and other fun ways to help keep your kids having fun.
