Be attuned to the problems facing a colleague or neighbor. Their distress may impact some of your plans right now. A raise or promotion is worth celebrating with family and friends. Treat yourself to some little luxury but don't overdo it. Don't desert the plans you made. Avoid individuals and environments that leave you emotionally drained. Be wise in the way you handle money as that will help you in days to come. If you put expenses in line with your income now you'll benefit from surplus funds later. Practice caution.
