    The key is to compromise and not cut out. Do your nails (at home) and make an event of it! Something special so your brain gets that dopamine hit. I love hopping on Pinterest and searching for a fun nail design, then buying myself a chocolate bar and a fun drink during my grocery runs, lighting a candle, putting something on my TV or on TH-cam and doing my nails. Cultivating novelty in your everyday life using things you already own will stop you from spending $$ to feel that rush of happiness thats always so fleeting.

    Vanessa, I'm a nail tech! Just a tip for you. Order a system called "Dazzle Dry" its here in the U.S. Hopefully they can ship to you? Its a polish that lasts 2 weeks removes with acetone or nail polish remover. Game changer!

    Congrats on cancelling those appointments! I would definitely try and find a lower price on your tenant insurance and car insurance and phone bill. I did that this past august and lowered our bill quite a bit and check to see if your work gets you any discounts with an insurance company too because I had no idea about that. I know switching companies and getting quotes is such a time suck, but it's totally worth it. I used to also write down our budget, but I switched to writing every purchase in google sheets and this helped me stay accountable to what I was purchasing too. I have adhd and got into cc debt a few years ago with some really bad impulsive spending and find writing purchases down very helpful to curb the impulses. Thanks for sharing something so vulnerable about your spending habits! I don't think I've ever verbally told anyone about my own decisions and how much debt I got into and out of because I felt so embarrassed.

  • @janineonejanine

    As a Brit, it has taken a while for me to get used to the fact that Americans and Canadians call it biweekly! We say ‘fortnightly!’ I get paid monthly. Most jobs over here are monthly pay! 👍my husband gets paid every four weeks on a Thursday so it works out he gets paid an extra time a year compared to me. I think I’d struggle more to try and budget if I wasn’t paid monthly! We don’t have Wendy’s food over here. We do have a Tim Hortons a few miles from us now though! I don’t drive but my husband needs his car to get to work and I don’t have to go into my office very often as I work mainly from home - sometimes I go in once or twice a week but I haven’t ventured into my workplace in a few weeks now! I catch a train to work but they’re not very reliable and are expensive! I get my hair cut twice a year but have never dyed it. I’m 37 and going quite grey but honestly don’t care how I look now! My 11 year old twins are my priority so I need to ensure that they are provided for anyway

    Your hair is always pretty but I LOVE your natural color. I watched your birth video yesterday and could not believe what a beautiful shade of red your hair was. You don’t actually need to color your hair at all. When I’m struggling in the area of spending, I try to remember how blessed I already am. There are so many people in the world who would love to be able to buy Wendy’s or be able to afford a new bottle of nail polish. What are little things to us might be luxuries to others 😢

      Thank you so much!! I know but it’s funny I was bullied my whole childhood for having red hair and then eventually I get bored of it and want to change! But I agree it is a lovely colour. It’s darkening as I age.

    I compromise may be to have mom with Penelope at her house, and you could do your own mani pedicure . Maybe you could listen to music or watch a show of your liking.

    What is the Canada child benefit??

      @NobodySpecial509 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It’s a government supplement based on your family income to help with the costs of raising a child/children. It’s a monthly benefit until the children are 18 years or your income is too high to qualify.

    💁🏻‍♀️☝🏻Please remove the word "so" from your vocabulary.👍🏻
    ☝🏻Only use the word "and" rarely as needed (I had an elementay teacher, 4th grade I believe, who assigned a 3 paragraph essay/report where we could ONLY use the word "and" ONCE)...My essays and term papers rockedlater in my education.👍🏻
    ☝🏻Uhhh/Erm is another word that denote you thought process (brain) is dead therefore saying nothing at all (high school speech and debate)...I literally smashed this one against my opponents EVERY time.😉👍🏻

      Better yet, don't buy "stuff" in the first place. You are selling things you don't need for a fraction of what you paid for them. Why did you buy them then in the first place?
      If you are paid bi-weekly, you get 26 pay periods a year. I budgeted for two pay periods per month. The extra pay period in the first half of the year I put aside for vacation. The extra pay in the second half was for Christmas.
      Of course, you need to use one to start an emergency fund and use the other to pay down debt for now.
      Have you done your maternity leave budget? Can you afford to take the whole year off? Maybe look at potential bad spending decisions as a choice between more time off with new baby or more junk you don't need. 😀
      Easier said than done, I know! You've got this!
