Packed up two laundry baskets of clothes for Plato’s Closet, a 2nd hand clothing store. I’ll sell whatever they’ll take, and whatever they don’t take, I’ll ship off to goodwill, along with some things that I know Plato’s won’t take. I always feel so much better after taking things in there.

I’ll consider this goal complete after I take the clothes to goodwill!

Alright. I’ve set a goal to spend less money. How can I track this? I’ve decided I’m going to track every single thing I spend for the day, and write them down here. I will not include bills, because that’s already worked into the budget. Things that will be included will be gas, parking, food, etc.

My husband and I put every purchase we make on our credit card, then pay it off in full every month, because we get cash back on our purchases. We then use that money towards a vacation every year.

I make a lot of purchases on things I don’t NEED, like going out to eat, shopping for shoes, clothes, and other crap I don’t really need. I like to shop.

I’m giving myself one month to cut down on my spending. I’d like to see how many days I can go without spending any money, honestly.

If I give up, or spend too much, I am going to cut up my credit card and make my husband give me cash only.

I’m really starting to notice the difference in drinking more water. I mean, the peeing more often, of course ;)

But honestly, I’m also noticing things like needing less chapstick, feeling more awake and healthier.
