    Your week of snoozing sounds perfect / think we always so on the go and I personally feel bad when I don’t want to do anything and just chill as my home /life/work list is so long 
    However when your body insists on sleep then it’s worth listening to .. 

    As I use YNAB I add money aside most months to various bday pots - I have a rough idea how much I want to spend but then the birthday dinners out for my parents  often catch me out 
    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.
