When I think of all the money I wasted on unnecessary things over the years I get pissed at myself. If only I knew then what I know now. Getting my nails done is not a necessity; neither is the pair of shoes that were on clearance in Belk, or the 52 inch flat screen tv sitting in my living room, what about all those trips to McDonald's, Arby', Popeyes? Those were things I wanted but could definitely live without. Anything worth having doesn't come at an easy price, I'd rather sacrifice now for a better future not only for me but for my family.
From September 1-December 31st I will be on a spending freeze. The only thing that I will spend money on is
Rent phonebill
Electricity groceries
Insurance gas
Carpayment daycare
I plan on documenting the highs and the lows.
Prepare for the ride.
Girl I'm with you. I want to buy a house and I need to get my debt in order like yesterday!! I wanna take this journey with you. I did promise the kids a trip to KD and after that I want to be on a tight budget. We can do it together!!! It's going to be hard but I want it so bad and I'm sure you do too so I know we can do it!!! I'm with u girl!!
ReplyDeleteLana we can and will do it. The bigger the sacrifice now, the bigger the reward later
