Set a goal for yourself for March.

This can ultimately lead to substantial savings that can go toward your financial goal and keep you from being wasteful. We find that this gives our kids (and ourselves) a chance to experience new stuff without necessarily having to buy the stuff at a regular store or thrift store. Don’t know where to start?
