Stop spending money on things i dont need

i spend ridiculous amounts of money on discretionary stuff, but when it comes to things that are necessary, i’m a miser. i am one mixed-up duck.

so I’m gonna close it out. Plus I’m now keeping track of everything I spend to help myself be more accountable with where my money is going.

but could do better. I have printed off all of my bank statements for the last 18 months so I can review where my money is going and see if there is any fat I can trim. I’m sure there is (such as my daily drip coffee at Starbucks).

Anyway, I’m looking forward to accelerating my savings and debt reduction in the coming months. I have paid off one bill last month and the car will be paid off in just a few more payments.

I really want to save up lots of money. Recently ive been pretty good. I havent gone shopping in months, but every now and gain I buy some silly thing I dont need.

But I’ve downsized my life considerably and have made huge dents in getting my debt out of the way. My priorities have been straightened out!

Woo-hoo!

I did super amazingly awesome this month with the credit card bill this month.

$92

THATS IT!! AYAYAYAA!!

Wow.
I’m roughly $1000 in debt to my parents.

But I’d say in the last week I’ve done really well with money! Eating more at home, not going out, not impulsively buying everything I see on Steep and Cheap and Whiskey Militia…

I really suck at this one. Working on it…I swear….

I used to eat out for lunch nearly everyday. But I have learned to cut back.

so well with this one today. I spent $100 on concert tickets for my son and myself. I do have some money coming to me so I can pay them off that way. This is actually something my son and I do to bond with each other so there is a purpose. Still I didn’t need to spend the money and I have been doing so well. Funny thing we don’t know the lineup yet for the show. I read somewhere on line though that the Smashing Pumpkins were headlining and I have wanted to see them for years.
