Valentine’s Day Budget Category
Whether dating or married, you should budget for “love and romance” and take time together.
Our Valentine’s Day budget category is “Love Bucks,” which we use to save money for special romantic occasions.
Average out what you would both spend on each other for gifts throughout the year.
For example: You estimate that you’ll need $200 for a Valentine’s Day she’ll never forget.
Divide that number by 12 and save that monthly in your budget as a projected expense; for example, $200/12= $16.66 monthly.
This allows you to take out cash when you want to spend it on each other without justifying it as you’ve already budgeted the money.
Be Prepared For Valentine’s Day
It is these days that your heart is filled with romance, and your pockets are filled with a hole.
For Mrs. CBB on Valentine’s Day, I give her my heart, my love, my forever, like every day of our lives.
A couple’s love should include time, investment, love, nurturing, and communication.
You don’t have to spend money to say I love you on Valentine’s Day, provided the couple understands each other.
Happy Valentine’s Day to Everyone!
Mr. CBB
