BE PREPARED Usually, things become more expensive the closer we get to an event. For instance, tickets get more expensive closer to the date of a flight or we end up paying more for a gift because we did not have enough time to compare.

Having a healthy level of expectation for an event is good, but seek a balance between spontaneity and over-planning. MAKE TIME TO RECHARGE After the hustle and bustle of an event, it’s important to budget some alone time for yourself or with a loved one. Use this…
