Valentines Day Fun that you won't regret the next day
Our boys both have girlfriends this Valentines Day and they are trying to think of what they could do with the little bit of cash they have. This is a common thing for a lot of people. Some people let their heart do the thinking and not their Financial Freedom Mind which gets them in trouble after Valentine’s day.
We all want to show our significant others, family and friends how much we love them, but we don’t have to go into the Poor house doing it.
My Dad was a great example of this. My parents time together was a dream love story. They had what most people are looking for. They loved each other so much but had little money to spend showing their love. They didn’t believe in Debt or Credit Cards so if they didn’t have the money in their Checking Accounts or pockets then they find another way to celebrate Valentine’s day.
My Mom never worked because she was handicap so she showed her love to dad in simple ways from the following;
- She would cook him his favorite things he like to eat. Dad could never have enough of Mom’s cooking. I am blessed that Darlene is such a good cook and loves to cook also.
- She would write him notes on how much he meant to her.
- She was the queen at buying cards also. My Dad should have bought stock in Hallmark. LOL, we like the dollar cards for us and write our own personal notes in them.
My Dad showed his love in many ways that didn’t cost a lot of money. I don’t remember my Mom ever not feeling loved at Valentines day from my Dad. Here are some of the ways my Dad showed my Mom that he loved her:
- Dad would get my Mom a card also and write a special note in it. My dad was a quiet and shy so when he spoke it meant a lot to who he was talking with.
- My mom was hard to shop for so he would take her to the malls and let her browse the stores. She would get something on sale once in a while and it made her feel good and loved.
- My dad was present in the moment with my mom. He wasn’t on his cell phone or distracted. He gave her good quality time.
- My dad would take my mom square dancing and always take her to the bowling alley to watch his bowl with the guys. He took her everywhere.
- He would hold my moms’ hand and kiss her a lot. He told her often how much he loved her and how beautiful she was.
Of course, everyday can be Valentines day in your relationship but if you don’t stay with in your budget then it may take you longer to hit your Financial Freedom Goals.
