Not only does it balance the meal, but it's December and the farmer's market here is closed, so I haven't been eating as many vegetables as I do in the more fruitful months. Don't worry, I don't have the mindset... or at least, even when I do feel flush, my actions are unchanged. Usually I never let myself have enough money around to get the feeling. I've always practiced the "pay yourself first" model, leaving only enough behind for what I deem necessities. So, what this feeling really means is that it's time to make an extra loan payment. :) You’re right–salad is needed.

Yes, serve a salad. If you want a nice pre-packaged one, try a veggie lovers,or just add some fresh veggies to either regular or bagged lettuce. Don't start getting that "feeling flush" mind set. You need to be out of debt, have an emergency fund and a full 401, and a few ($10,000.00)bucks in the bank before you are truly "flush". You'll get there before you know it. Have a fun party. Good for you — staying on budget.
