I just finished painting our hallway and our downstairs bathroom. Naturally, once you finish a project, it will now cost more money to decorate! For the hallway, my wife now wants new picture frames because the old ones do not “look good” with the new paint.
I understand her point. And I am willing to get them – but not until I have the money for them. Now, picture frames are not that much. But I would have to rob from another budget to get them now. If I wait a week – it can come out of the correct budget.
It’s a small thing – but I have found that it is the small things that add up and get us into trouble. We cheat a little here, a little there, and pretty soon we have a financial crunch. I would rather make a little decision now than have to make painful big decisions later!
