I knew that you almost found some your neighbors, might be some your friends or could be you, always spend much money on the weekend. They did like just come and go all day long, driving around and shopping out to where they could find what they want which sometime only blank bag out of their car. Not satisfied, they hang out again most for the next Friday and Saturday evening at premium time, running around and burn their money for getting the latest and greatest of everything.

They seem to feel like they’re missing out on something if they’re not at the hip restaurants, the latest movies, or the newest shopping mall. They did not only time for Christmas shopping but goes on all weekend. Do you think it’s wrong what they did?

I’m not a skeptic one who pretending against fun, I just wondering how much gas money they burn while they could save a lot. Sometime they said and complained that they hasn’t enough time or money to do the things what they really want to do like read, catch up on some sleep, pursue a hobby, bake, or play with the kids. But they still too busy running around to fool with it.

In spite of the fact that their homes equipped with every gadget and entertainment option available, they cannot stand to stay at home, just enjoying life. They feel have to go out there as they thought that the crowds on all the weekends could be well for running their chores.

What’s so wrong with a thrifty and quiet weekend at home? You don’t have to leave the house all day long on the weekend. You can go out of your way to take care of any errands during the week while you’re already out and about for work or other appointments. That means you don’t have to fight the crowds on the weekend and you can shop in relative peace. Since you don’t shop for entertainment, prefer to watch movies at home, and rarely eat out, you are content to spend the weekends at home in pursuit of other things that matter to you. And you even more content to keep all that gas money in your pocket.

I’m not saying that you should give up the things you find genuinely fun and rewarding. If you love going to the movies every weekend and can afford it, by all means have at it. Or if you are a devotee of sport and go to games every weekend, enjoy yourself. However, if you’re running around is mindless and doesn’t bring you any real joy, maybe you need to rethink your weekends. If you’re simply going out to be in the loop or to “see what’s out there,” you might be better served by staying home. By giving up the weekend frenzy and staying home, you’ll save a ton of money by not shopping and wasting gas, you’ll probably improve your relationships, and you’ll have time to pursue those hobbies and activities that you’ve always wanted to get around to. Maybe you can finally stop feeling like you have no time or money left over for yourself.
