Your Imperfect Example for Budgeting Wisely-ish


To cut the cord or not… ugh. We engage in this every so often but find an excuse to keep it. Now sports are dwindling, and the channel that shows my husband’s team is in a dispute with the provider so we can’t even watch that. One of these days I’ll have to actually look into online options.
My kids are in the throes of no organized sports and while it’s chill and nice logistically, they are driving us (and each other) a little crazy. One is going to take a several-week-long weekend baseball clinic starting this weekend with his friend, so hopefully that helps knock the rust off his skills a little bit.
As for the cash, I have a tween and a teenager in my life, and what else do you even get them? I like shopping at the ATM these days; easy, and it makes everyone happy.
