Getaway

October 4, 2023 Last weekend, I took a last-minute getaway to Vegas and made a long weekend out of it. This was needed because lately I felt as if I wasn’t doing much for myself, but everything for everyone else. I was hesitant at first because I know I’m supposed to be saving, and I have been doing so well. I had to remember that if I am conscious of what I spend and have a limit, then I will be fine. It took a lot of self-talk into convincing myself to go, and I reminded myself that it’s important to still do things for myself besides work and pay bills. I talked with my coach about this after I got back, and she reassured me that it is completely fine to travel and do self-care activities – just be conscious and aware of my spending and other financial obligations. All in all, I feel refreshed, I feel good about my choice, and I still feel like I am in a good place financially. You might also be interested in If it’s not one thing, it’s another.
