It’s that day. The one where I make the effort to bring my lunch trying to stay on track with my “spending plan” (Thanks Dave Ramsey). But I am hungry hours before so I ate it as a snack. Then lunch time rolls around and I just finished talking to a lady from customer service about the practice of not telling someone exactly when a trial ends is, well, wrong and how I need her to fix it (compromise reached). I  need to break out of my office and I need a treat. But what about money and “the plan”?
Enter one of my all-time favorite gifts: The Gift Card. On days like today, the ones between bills paid and I’m paid, I reach into my stash for my guilt free pick-me up and I found my Starbucks gift card. Yea! I zipped down to see my local barista and ordered this lovely Black Shaken Iced Tea (southern style). Work may now resume.
