Thanks for the link love!
Really enjoyed the post, as someone who bought more than he should have himself ;)
Great side – anyway you can make your links open in new tabs and not change from your website? Would be much appreciated!
There is a way, but unfortunately I know I’ll forget every week ;) What I always do is just right click and then hit “open link in new tab” and it works wonderfully for me. I even do it automatically now without even thinking! haha… but def. a good thing to keep in mind, thanks for bringing it up.
That prom thing is ridiculous, my coworkers and I were talking about that this morning. My senior prom was 11 years ago. I am pretty sure I spent less than $300 on the whole thing, including my dress, shoes, hair, limo, and tickets. I know inflation would probably push that up since I went, but $2k for prom is beyond ridiculous.
Hey J. Money,
If you did want to know you can set up the links to open in a new tab by adding target=”_blank”

@Stephanie – I know right? Crazy how money gets spent sometimes. Hopefully it really is a time to remember! :)
@Lance @ Money Life and More – Awesome, I’ll check it out – thanks :) I did know about the _blank – it’s more about remembering to include it ;) But appreciate you lookin’ out!
