Halloween & Thanksgiving ...

Don't you just love fall and halloween?
All these beautiful bright colors? Red, orange, yellow?

This is my favorite season. I'm not saying that Christmas season is not beautiful, it sure is, but Fall is just something else..It always was my favorite! Every year I enjoy walking in parks, especially during the month of september, october and november... This year I didn't do much of decoration, I mean not at all, for Halloween. First, I didn't have time to go shopping, and second, I didn't feel like spending that extra money, that we are trying to send toward our debts.

I only have two little pumpkins on my balcony and hubby with his niece might do some decoration, but nothing much or special.

Last year we had a beautifully decorated our place and everyone was impressed. We didn't care much about our debts back then, but now, I do care and I don't care who's gonna say what. I just first follow our financial plan, and then see what I can or can't do!

Thanksgiving- will be a great one. I am going to visit my family for this Thanksgiving. My baby and I are staying there for eight days. Hubby has to stay home and work. He didn't feel like going there anyway...Every time I go to visit them I used to spend so much money, but this time, I have a budget. Hubby gave me $300 for a ticket (me and the baby) and said that I can have $100 budget for spending (coffee and catching up with old friends)... So I've done some good, but I really mean GOOD, research about flight tickets, and found one for $256, and honestly I almost got it. But something was telling me not to. So I've waited two more days, did some more research, and guess what??? I found a ticket for $139 - roundtrip, me and my baby! Unbelievable, I know! But I honestly found a ticket for this amount. Airtran had a wonderful special :)... I will have a $61 budget, and that's it! Instead of spending $400 I will be spending $200 including our ticket. Total savings $200. Not bad, not at all :)
