I could never get away with only $35.00. I hope to have a "living more" budget line in May, thanks to this idea of yours!

I've up the budget another $20.00 a month for this luxury which I know I'm really going to enjoy.<br />Weddings can be very expensive so you are wise to be budgeting for these happy occasions.The Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02021866057255311124noreply@blogger.com
