Well guys, I did what I always tell myself I won’t do each Christmas;
I spent way more money than I planned. I bought everyone exactly what I wanted
to buy them BUT I didn’t stop there, I decided I needed some things as well. I
can talk myself into almost anything, especially it comes in a pretty
package….I am such a sucker. ;)
So what does this mean for January? Well it means that
unless it is an actual necessity I can’t buy anything. This includes using gift
cards to make a purchase. I need to learn to say no, so what better way to
start off the year than by budgeting. The bigger picture reason for this is
that I have a few friends getting married this year and with showers, gifts and
traveling I need to save all the money I can.
My other big focus for saving money is my 28th
birthday. I know, I know my birthday isn’t until November but guys I am a
planner and I LOVE my birthday so…..I already picked out the place…NAPA VALLEY.
I sometimes change my mind so don’t hold me to it but I will definitely be
traveling somewhere.
So what that means I can spend money on is groceries, gas
and any toiletries I run out of (which is highly unlikely).
Anyone else cutting back for the month of January? Any tips
for keeping strong when you want to try a new product or see a good sale?
