I could save a little every month and put that into the Cultural Enrichment Fund. That's a great idea. Thanks for these thoughts!!

The Cultural Enrichment Fund. I love it!
I go through periods of feeling flat with my schedule too. On the one hand keeping things regular helped me recover, but on the other it made me a bit anxious when I wasn't stimulated enough. I'm a homeschooling mom, so I've been trying to look for fun and new activities to do with my kids. I also just picked up a training class to keep my professional skills sharp while I take time away from work. Neither of those upset the routine too much and they give my brain a healthy workout.
Let us know how this goes. I'm interested to know what you decide to do with your time.
