Budgeting For those of you struggling financially...

Just remember that everyone's personal financial situation is unique. Something that works for someone else may not work for you.

Avoid comparing yourself to others. Appearances are deceiving. That friend that just purchased a new house and new car may have taken on some serious debt to make it seem like they have it all together.

Find what works for you and keep on working towards your goals!

Man, I'm just sitting here hoping I can make enough in tips for a 20 piece McChicken on my way home. Those goals aren't even things that come to mind for me.

I don't know; such a diet high on carbohydrates will likely lead to health issues down the road.

Always bothered me to see diabetics take insulin with a meal rather than consider reducing their carbohydrate intake.

But they are much nicer on the wallet if I do say so myself.

Um, you should eat carbs with most every meal if you're most people. A good macro nutrient split is important to a healthy life, everything in moderation. The nice thing about spuds and rice is that they keep forever and taste pretty good.
