After a year of maybe spending a bit too much here and there (check out that featured picture lol I bought a vintage used Louis Vuitton travel bag and purse this year oops!) I think I am going to try to do a No Spend January. I have never done this in my life. I try to be a good saver and am proud of how far I have come but when a good deal comes along I can not help myself I must have it. But I am going to try to get through the 31 days.
I’m laying down some ground rules.
- All bills are being paid, those are necessary and important to pay (obviously).
- No eating out for any meals. That means my Dunkin on the way to work sometimes is out of the question for 31 days. And Fridays when the girls go out to lunch I’ll have to say no. I will try to make all meals at home.
- No binge buying clothes no matter how good the deal. Make a list of the items I was very interested in. If still interested after the month is over, splurge on something.
- Any money that I would want to spend on something I would want to buy, goes straight to savings.
- At the end of the month, take a tally of money saved and see progress!
The goal for me is to cut back on my spending and beef up my savings a bit. I know it is going to be difficult but I get to be creative with food and activities! I will keep you posted throughout the month on how it is going in more blog posts!! Let me know if any of you have ever done this or are trying to do it!!
XoXo,
Z
P.S. Wish me luck and send me good vibes please!!
