    When I went through Consumer Credit Counseling Services, we were required to draw up a budget. I dutifully went home and started going through the process. Line items I left at zero were "entertainment" and "dining out," reasoning that these were too superfluous and wasteful. When I returned for my second meeting (hello, my name is Ron and I'm a debtaholic), the counselor mildly scolded me for NOT putting something in these categories. "When people don't budget for fun," she said, "they easily become discouraged and give up. You must 'pay yourself first' and part of that payment is to enjoy your life." Through their years of experience and with tens of thousands of people going through the program, they had learned that eating out at least once per month and making a couple go to a movie would cause them to stick with the program.

    I like to call this "don't forget to live". It is simply impossible to cut everything at all times. Go for an ice cream cone. Enjoy life a bit. Just not too much. :)
