No more acrylic nails/addiction

Today I decided to stop at one of the nail places I have been going to for years,  I walked in and they asked how they could help me and so I answered..... Please get these things off of me they are now very expensive and need kept up with every two to three weeks I am done!  She did as I asked her to but then she says how about a manicure and nail polish? I said no nothing I want my real nails back and she looked at me like I was an alien from outerspace. I didn't care what she thought I want to be simple again but with pride in the way I look...  fake nails will be my first of many money spending habits  to go the rest is on its way, I need to be saving my hard earned money on a house, Oh my god Maryland is way to expensive to buy a house so my plan is to finish up school and make bank or move somewhere not so expensive,  I am trying to think of ways so save and this was one and now I need more think think think....
