...5 months ago i was down to $950!...but sadly…my debt has piled up and i’m currently at $3,500 now…omg!!!...i’ve really got to get serious about completing this goal and becoming smarter with my money especially when the economy is currently the way it is…eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!
that i’m better with my money when i’m broke…wierd right? haha well i decided that i would try something new…
start spending money like i’m broke…well, because otherwise i will keep spending until i’m way beyond broke so here’s my plan:
1. figure out how much spending money i have left each paycheck after taking into account bills and savings
2. take either 1/2 or 3/4 of my spending money amount out from the bank and carry it with me in cash
3. leave all the cards (debit/credit) at home
When I shop with my cards I never hesitate to think about whether or not I can live without that something nor do I realize that it’s waaay beyond my budget and that I really can’t afford it…but with cash…I will have to think about how much I have and take into consideration if there is anything else I am planning to buy, if I can look elsewhere for a better deal, if I can live without it, if i’m getting my money’s worth, etc…that’s when all the questions seem to come flooding in…
Hope this gives me a different mindset when shopping sooo…
I’ll keep my fingers crossed!!!
I enjoyed reading Khaled Hosseini’s, The Kite Runner, so much that I HAD to read his second novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and unsurprisingly, it’s just as beautifully written…so yes, I recommend both…
