Happy Fat Tuesday! I can't believe Ash Wednesday is tomorrow. I have one more day to indulge. lol. Just kidding. As I mentioned earlier, I decided to give up going out past 11pm for Lent this year. I think this will help me save money since my social life lately has taken a hit at my finances. Last month I focused on paying off a huge debt that lasted over 10 years. Because of that, my credit cards have suffered since I never took the time to budget after the holidays. I'm still paying off my vacation from Paris and Italy. Not to mention, I HAVE been going out a little too much lately. Time to disappear for a bit. No harm done. Paying for dinner, drinks, hopping from one spot to another plus the late night uber rides have maxed me out. I'm financially exhausted.
The good news is: I'm NOT giving up on socializing! I can still partake on after-work happy hour specials and low key dinners and still be able to ride the Blue Line back home. Chicago right now isn't the safest city so I usually take an uber home when I'm out late at night. With my new curfew, I can ride the CTA home safely and save some serious money. This is possible! I can feel it!
Over the years, I've given up chocolate, drinking, cursing, and shopping for Lent. This year it will be late night socializing and I think I'll be just fine.
