Pinching Pennies

I feel as though I'm neglecting a few since our return to America. But the truth is I'm trying to limit my spending as I don't have a full-time job. So those who I'd like to meet for lunch, or hang with at dinner, must take a second seat to my financial plan of attack.

For example, I'm sitting at home wanting to get out tonight. But knowing I don't want to spend money makes me sit and stew inside this one bedroom apartment. And with birthday dinners on the horizon, I need to save every penny I can. Because when our friends get together, it ain't cheap!
