It's the perfect day to hit Starcourt Mall with friends! What are you buying?

It's time to treat yourself. Choose a snack.

Use your spare change to play a song on the jukebox.

Gas is expensive! If your wallet is hurting due to driving a pizza van across the country (or even an RV across Indiana), then you're not alone. With gas prices rising, get creative on small ways that you can cut transportation costs. This could mean carpooling with friends to social events or walking to a destination that's nearby.

Be more mindful about transportation costs.

You don't have to hide out in Mike Wheeler's basement to avoid spending money — you can still have a social life! If you are stressing over the amount you spend on dinners out or costly activities, come up with a few free or low-cost alternatives that you can enjoy with your friends.

Spending tons of money on social activities? Brainstorm a list of affordable options.

If your credit card statement has way too many Surfer Boy Pizza charges, fear not — you don't _necessarily_ have to give up that pineapple pizza. Cut costs on your favorite takeout meals by preparing more affordable substitute versions at home! This can help eliminate delivery fees (sorry, Argyle!).

Curb your food budget with takeout substitutes.

Are your friends pressuring you to join Hellfire Club but you just want to sit at home and listen to Kate Bush? For many people, setting boundaries can be a source of stress and anxiety. When it comes to spending money on costly activities that aren't in your budget, this is an important skill that will make a big difference!

Say 'no' to spending money when it's not in your budget.

It does no good to compare how much debt you've accrued or how many demogorgons you've slayed. Everyone's story is different, and no two situations are the same. One of the best things you can do for your mental health and your money goals is to embrace where you are at now and celebrate your personal accomplishments!

Embrace where you are at in your financial journey!
