A client recently lamented, “I can’t do these wine bar dates anymore! It’s $20 for just one drink with tip. I could get at least two bottles of wine at Trader Joe’s for that.” Similarly, a couple I work with is trying to bring intimacy back into their relationship, so they want to have more date nights but also stay within their monthly budget. Another client shared that he wanted to attend a speed dating event in his city but needed to hold off until next month to make that work financially.
