Hopefully it saves money in the long run and saves some being sick and/or hurting. I like your advice to include a few of the "wants" in our lives as you can. What good is life without a little fun!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035113274497372396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-46727218840892442682016-01-30T14:09:21.919-08:002016-01-30T14:09:21.919-08:00Good advice, Rosaria.

Those ...Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Those unexpected hits do make it feel as if the roof has fallen in on us. In your case, that is exactly what happened. A lifetime of being hit with unexpected expenses prepares the wise to plan for those unplanned, unforeseen events. It makes me sad to see this happen to you.<br /><br />My husband and I together make an interesting couple when it comes to following the advice that you give. Over the years, I think we have been able to help each other plan for the unexpected. He makes the money. I am the one that insists on planning for the unexpected. It wasn't always that way for him. <br /><br />When it comes to ice cream, we take a different route on our way home because we know we can't just drive by the ice cream shop. We stop more than our diets need, but we do enjoy our indulgence.

But what can you do? These things happen continuously. All we can do is accept it and go on, right? But I agree we need to try to save where-ever we can. In general, I don't make NY's resolutions, but the last few years I've tried to "put myself out there" more... and I plan to continue to try to do that.

So this year I resolved to make one that I could and would: I resolved to drink more hot chocolate. So far so good.<br /><br />Come summer I may have to switch it out to a homemade limeade that I call my "fizzy-lifting drink", but that won't bother me at all.Nib's Endhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820552995581749771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-91548994325296535792016-01-12T20:08:57.680-08:002016-01-12T20:08:57.680-08:00That tree.

They grow more imposing with each passing year.<br />Your resolutions make perfect sense. Do you always make resolutions? I hardly ever do, feeling like I would be dooming myself to failure. I can't seem to keep promises to myself, although I'm good at being faithful to others.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-60759317762344351372016-01-12T08:05:04.620-08:002016-01-12T08:05:04.620-08:00Keep it simple...that's a good resolution, too...Keep it simple...that's a good resolution, too, and that's just what you've done.

Second is to exercise: Tuesday & Wednesday I go to a senior fit class at my gym. Third is to take Jake for more walks and that is where I stumble with my intent. <br />Happy new year, dear friend!

I had big plans for that latest powerball win though! We have to put a new roof on our house. I expect we will be making only modest splurges this year. We will be back in Port Orford this spring. It's low cost travel and a beautiful break from our routine. #1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-6693566538098647182016-01-11T14:31:31.899-08:002016-01-11T14:31:31.899-08:00We need far more excercise since we have mobile ga...We need far more excercise since we have mobile gadgets to sit at. <br />Saving is a wise point.
