Reviewing your goals helps remind you what you're going to accomplish, and keeping busy with inexpensive hobbies sounds both fun and smart. Budgeting, those sound like good ideas.

Yes, that is my motto. Apparently, the Universe/God/Martha Stewart does not agree with me. 'Tis ridiculous. Anyhoo, I'm with Budgeting in the Fun Stuff--hobbies and posting goals where I see them also helps. But when in a real pickle, I always turn to the bottle. Ain't no want on the planet a good bottle of wine can't fix. :P Patience is for losers who can’t get sh!t done in a timely manner! Yes, that is my motto.

We've gotten very lucky that our impatience hasn't cost us much. What helps us now is that we set actual on-paper goals. We just repeat to ourselves our goal for early retirement or to fund two Roth IRA's this year...that helps us ignore our immediate cravings and budget for them instead. Oh, and it helps me to stay busy with inexpensive hobbies. My blog, visiting family, and hanging out with friends takes up almost all of my time now...that leaves much less time to actually spend money. Tonight, we are having a Girls' Night in with DVDs we already own while eating snacks we're finding in our pantries...cheap but it will be so much fun!
