The single parent budget?

Do you find it easier to manage your money now that's it's just one person to keep track of? Where do you cut corners first when money is tight? What's something you splurge on? What was the hardest adjustment to doing alone?

 

I personally am loving managing just me and my money. Money got tight and I finally got on wic. I struggled with the idea of asking for help but it's made a huge difference. I splurge on mini vacations with my LO, luckily I get vacation hours from work if I plan smart enough it works. I had to adjust to waiting 2 weeks between paychecks, I was so used to money rolling in every Friday and now 2 weeks seems like forever!
