Mindful Spending

Little treats? In this economy? It is possible to make the most of your money, even in the toughest of times. Experts agree budgeting is not about cutting everything out, but rather about spending mindfully on what you value. So while we at Apartment Therapy can help you trim the fat and soothe your financial stress, it’s up to you to decide on what’s worth putting your dollars toward. Just because inflation is high doesn’t mean there aren’t cost-effective ways to enjoy your days.
