Or, don't spend the money before you earn it.
I've always been pretty good about being financially conservative. It is especially important now, as I have a job where I don't get paid if I don't go to work. There are no vacation days or any other "paid days off". I either show up and get a paycheck or I don't get paid. I'm not upset or complaining, just making sure we all understand the reality.
Our first snow day in the middle of January I was supposed to work. A day of pay gone. At the end of January, I was scheduled for 1-1/2 of the three days we were off. More pay lost. Last Wednesday was another snow day, and another day of not being paid. I was disappointed when I had a job for last Friday that was cancelled, but I was extremely grateful that I was able to pick up another job for that day. I just received notification that a job for next week has been cancelled as well. I was only scheduled for three days, and I'm disappointed that one of them would be cancelled. As always though, there is absolutely nothing I can do about it, and if I have a few days off, hopefully I will get some things accomplished.
This is why it is super important that I don't spend money before I have actually earned it!
