#14. Don't be a baby

I'm trying not to focus on the things I can't buy. It only brings ya down. It's easy to be stoic for the first couple of weeks, possibly even months, but then I start to feel the galloping greedy gimmies sneak in (thank you Bernstein Bears--my kids love that book). Instead, I'm being adult about our reduced budget and not complaining--I have so much to be thankful for and it's a blessing that we have things we can reduce spending on! It does help that we have never really stopped living like college students : )
