Sample 1

As far as our celebrations are concerned, we leave no stone unturned to make the best out of them; for that, we tend to spend a lot. Today, I want to talk about a special day that did not cost me much: my last birthday.

So I went to a famous restaurant in my hometown, and I spent less because on that day there was the restaurant’s anniversary, so a special offer was going on. So my total bill was around $300, but since it was a special day for them, they gave me a $200 discount.

So I felt perfect about that day because of the extra money I saved because my budget was $300, but it cost me $100. So, for the $200 extra I had, I bought gifts for my friends from the restaurant’s gift shop and gave a perfect return gift to all of my friends.

So they felt perfect, and they enjoyed the whole night. We danced a lot, and the quality time spent with my friends that day will remain etched in my memories.

It leads to a change in mindset, and they feel light.
