"Just because you are trying to be frugal doesn't mean going without a fun splurge now and then. The problems don't start until those splurges happen regularly."

I like this article. I believe its true that money can allow for the creation of special moments, but when we over rely on money to create special moments we can easily get into trouble.

Let's talk about chocolate! No really...I live pretty frugally by choice and by necessity. But I find if I deny myself constantly its more difficult. A splurge every now and then works for me.
