Today was the first day of the new budget plan. I'm happy to report that I spent $0!
It really wasn't that difficult to not spend any money today because it was such a busy day. The only time I was tempted was on the way to a birthday party. I really wanted to stop at Starbucks and get a Maple Pecan Latte. It's right on my way and so, so easy to stop and run in. But, I resisted.
I've also set a personal goal for the month. My goal this month is to not buy any clothes. This should be an easy goal because I've already set a this as a no buy month. Only the essentials and only if we can't live without it for a month.
I don't NEED any clothes. In fact, I have a lot more clothes than I need or even wear. I know this, but still when the seasons change I feel the need for new. I want clothes in fall colors, I want a new jacket, a new sweater, a new...whatever. I just want new. In full disclosure, I did recently buy new clothes. I bought a pair of jeans, a few shirts, and some earrings. So, the urge to buy new clothes is almost over. Although I do want new boots. I don't need them, but I really want them.
So, a month of no new clothes. Let's do this!
