This past weekend was so relaxing that I got to dive into some of the…
Spend Free September How Did I Do?
Yea timely I know.
Not the best plan you know.
Also, not a good plan. See a pattern here?
Don’t get the wrong picture here, I’m not a spend-aholic, in fact I’m pretty thrifty if I do say so. I don’t go around town flashing my credit card, that’s for sure! So consciously not spending money on anything was very easy.
The day of doom was September 24th, the last Saturday of the month, less than 6 days to go and nearby they had a “World’s Largest Yard Sale” Do you have those by you? I mean it’s the world’s largest, how can you not go? <-- Exactly my downfall. If I hadn't gone, I wouldn't have spent anything.
Bad thinking, but not totally invalid. Shopping for items at an event where there are about 300 yard sale vendors can be quite effective, and a time saver.
Will I do it again? For sure. Did I break my habit? Kind of. So I need more practice. Just as soon as the upcoming holiday season passes. Is that an excuse? Probably. But I will be doing more homemade gifts this year. I’ve already decided.
I hope you aren’t beating yourself up about it, because not spending for the other 29 days is still impressive, and great progress! We all need more practice in this, so I think every bit helps.
