Sometimes, our budget can wind up on autopilot. Go through your recurring expenses and double-check that your money is really working for you. Are you really, really watching every streaming platform every month? Or can you cancel something until the next season of your favorite show drops? With your flexible categories, like dining out, can you challenge yourself to spend a little less and put that money into your emergency fund? I have some more ideas about ways to trim your budget here.

Windows down, music blasting as we drive over the mountains that divide the Sonoma and Napa valleys.

Now, the night before she moves away, I look over at her, wind in her hair, and I hope these drives meant as much to her as they do to me. — Zoe Holman

Art may sound out of place in a pantry, but if you have wall space to spare, consider hanging a painting or two. Even small works of art can transform your pantry, making it feel more like a room worth showing off—and less like a place you pop into to grab a midday snack.
