I mean it! There literally is a light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is more daylight! OK, before I get too excited, let me explain. Tomorrow is the first day of winter. And it’s also the shortest visible daylight day of the year. The days will then start getting longer. This is always an exciting time because it means that spring is coming! (I am way too optimistic.) So basically what I’m saying is, the first day of winter means the first day of spring is coming. Are you following?
It might sound absurd, and it actually is, but people generally start getting more excited about spring when they see the days getting longer. It will probably take at least a month or so before we actually notice a difference. This is exciting stuff to me. You probably won’t be surprised to hear that I am a “glass half full” type of person! 😎😎

This has been (jokingly) referred to as “shrinkflation.” Well, I can attest it’s no joke. Shrinkflation is alive and well! I ordered groceries for delivery […]

Is Saving Money TRULY Saving Money?
Is getting a deal on something the same as actually saving money? Some people believe it is. Don’t get me wrong, getting a deal on something and keeping a little extra money in your pocket is great!
