haha777 Creative (and Cheap) Valentine’s Day Ideas

Even if money is tight, you can probably do better than the last droopy, blue-dyed supermarket carnations. But for some people, the urge to find the right gift or to book the perfect reservation can be fraught, said Vivian Tu, the author of “Rich AF” and host of the podcast “Networth and Chill.”
