Tightening your money belt is not very much fun, but having the extra money there when you really need it sure is! Think about long term gains in your finances today, and be more thrifty. Order the small size, skip all the fancy extras and don't you dare take a cab! If you enjoy a small convenience today, you will suffer a major inconvenience tomorrow: so do your future self a favor by simply saying 'no' to your usual luxuries for twenty-four little hours. You will be glad you did.
