Ok- no Snickers please. We all want a Sugar Daddy or Sugar Momma to help us make ends meet. Reality is that we need to be our own Lifesaver. Unless you live on a planet Mars you know that times are difficult and we need to make our Payday last a little longer. Remember to be a Smartie with your money and not a Butterfinger.
There are still Good n Plenty of Red Hot deals out there if we keep a watchful eye. You don't need 100 Grand to get by- just some good M&M: Money Management. If we have a Sour Patch, it doesn't need to be a Tear Jerker. Pick yourself up, look out in the Milky Way and watch a Starburst.
We don't need to live on Fifth Avenue to have Mounds of money. The Nerds have figured it out. During Crunch time, pull it in and don't go on a shopping Spree. Spend time at home. Go for a walk. Just don't be a Dumb Dumb or go Bonkers.
Remember- it's tight for everyone. As Baby Ruth once said, "Every strike brings me closer to the next home run."
