We all have money or resource problems in some way, shape, or form. The majority of us have always had an unmet expectation whether to obtain a desired end or procure a necessity. How to trim the fat and get to a most lean and efficient resource of quality and price is as common as the endless pursuit of perfection among our population in mass. 

As seasons change so do our new obstacles. Be it the slight acquisition of the small but ignorable item or service to make things somewhat more pleasant, or, that anvil that pops in proving we are not the Masters of the Universe. Electricity, food, clothing, cleaning goods, hygiene items, entertainment, household or outdoor decor, tools, and other necessities. These in conjunction with our children, spouses, and best friends forever place demands upon ourselves and our resources. 

Light bulb swapping to a lower wattage to find that perfect amount of ambient lighting for reading, entertainment, and television all from the same illumination point in a room seemly far to vast, bringing the realization of the impossibility of lighting a dance hall with just one candle and no mirrors. Those phantom lights reappear as the trauma of our childhood horror flicks as one eye goes back and forth to wonder, "Should I cover it. Nope too hot." One smoldens clammily as the air conditioner and fans whir sometimes in a mixture of humid and breezy overtones.  

Weather combines to meet most needs for perfect entertainment. Reminding you it is the season again for togetherness, shared experiences, time spent exploring, and moments in solitude. Porches, yards, beaches, and playgrounds beckon our attention to the storm the stampeding feet of little ones returning from fresh soccer slide and tackle and homemade mud pies. The hose is just wound and the sawhorses and tools from the recent project are now put away because weather permitted it after six months. 

Many of us live within a budget, many of us are overextended, and lots have no budget. Within this cosmos of family member lives and friends, somewhere with the parallel universe, we engage in activities that engage us with choice. We all have to do things we do not ingratiate ourselves over. Much of these things have to do with money, time, and worth. All of which can be oscillated in priority in any order given reflection and circumstance. 

Few people are aware of how much time it may cost to save. Options many agree on for saving may be food, cosmetics, peripherealities, and niceties. Dining out and a nice beverage are definite real parts of the human experience for many.
