It's tough for people especially who have gotten into the habit of spending so much money on the weekends. I could suggest maybe even starting off kind of slow to help ease the transition. Maybe only limit yourself to spending $30 one weekend, then $20 the next weekend, etc etc. Great article though, thanks for the info!

My wife does not like to cook, especially dinner, and would rather eat out even if its cheap pizza, which I personally find disgusting.... so I plan cheap easy meals to prepare after work, let her off the hook, and we spend very little all week.... and have some weekend fun. this is a good idea…. at my house we call it “sitting on our hands” – and personally, I find it more productive to do this all week, and then have a little fun on the weekend.
