Dear Woosy,
As a stay-at-home mum, I find myself exhausted from living within my means. While other housewives drive fancy cars, flaunt designer handbags, and occupy their days with shopping sprees, my situation is quite the opposite. My budget barely stretches to a sale rack at the charity shop.
Even taking solace in being a good saver feels futile, as the current economic crisis has severely impacted my stock portfolio. How can I elevate my spirits a bit without overspending?
Woosy says – Just because it seems your neighbors have everything you desire doesn’t guarantee they own it outright. They might be heavily in debt, cash-strapped, and unable to purchase even a stick of gum without relying on credit.
Consider finding something to sell. A friend of mine successfully sold her husband’s golf clubs on Ebay and treated herself to several new outfits, shoes, and a handbag. When he returned home drunk and forgot to close the garage door, she simply told him that the clubs were stolen.
Does your husband engage in golf or any hobbies that require pricey equipment? It’s worth checking out.
