| Green_Raven | Love your idea! DrDebbie - I love your idea of putting the money you would have spent in a savings account, and see just how much of my reckless spending I can save, by refusing to buy something! I love it!
Thanks for sharing! |
| Green_Raven | Payday Blitz! Wow, I'm struggling, I get paid weekly, so the temptation is there every week! I go shopping in ASDA every week, past DVD's, Magazines, CD's, clothes, and any other junk I don't need! I know my ebay and Paypal passwords off by heart, I can spend HUGE amounts on there and often do!
Weekends appear to be my biggest problem! I must combat the PayDay Blitz! |
| saraya | Hey All Jeez, I suck at this spending thing, but you can't blame a girl for trying. At least I can come back here & maybe get some advice. I seem to have a need for instant gratification I guess, buying things I think will make my life more convenient, colorful, interesting, something... I know that comes from lacking a certain intrinsic fulfillment in my life... Ah, It's a work in progress!!! Anyway, thanks to |
 | greenhaven put me down for 3 more days. |
| DrDebbie | Met a New CPA Met a new CPA in a business networking group, BNI, this week.
I'm not taking this meeting lightly.
I talked with her shortly and will be setting up a one on one with her regarding my businesses.
Nothing like you CPA to keep you financially aware in a BIG way.
My best to each of you,
Dr. Debbie |
| saraya | Smoking $$$$ Please tell me smoking isn't a luxury!!! There are only so many things I can try to change at once... Other than that I just have to watch out for payday!!! Which is today of course, but I have a goal I'm saving for, or starting rather... so I hope that gives me some willpower. Hope the rest of the group is doing ok. Least this challenge is opening my eyes a bit to waste in my budget.... which is everywhere!!! LOL  |

| DrDebbie | Playing a money game...
I don't remember where I read about this, but it has to do with noticing when we spend money needlessly...beyond our limits...
So here is what I am doing...everytime I think of spending money (that I would have before this challenge began) I track the money 'I WOULD HAVE SPENT' and put it in a savings account.
Yesterday, I saved $12 for lunch (packed my lunch)...$2.00 for a tea...$1.50 for candy I would have otherwise bought (perhaps this will be the best weight loss program yet
My awareness about money and how I presently manage/spend and the great changes I could make are louder than ever.
Thank you for doing this challenge, Green_Raven!

 todayalone | Unwatched, unread, unworn - I can really relate to that. A lot of the time the pleasure is in the purchase and not in owning and using the object. |
| Green_Raven | Welcome! Sounds excellent CChump and DrDebbie! Welcome! And welcome to everyone who's joining my challenge! We can do this!
I am aiming for a perfect month this month - no slip-ups! I need you all to keep up the encouragement! |
| cchump | Automatic Millionare I am reading a book right now about the "Latte Effect." It basically says the we waste all our money on little things we dont need. This challenge fits perfect with the book, and my goal of not wasting any more money.
Good Luck |
| DrDebbie | Funny...I'm doing the dance...'yes'...'no'...'yes'...'no'
I am dancing around this one...ever since I've gone through the Tool's days about money I KNOW there is more I can do here.
Okay...I'll do it...I know it will start to increase my awareness when I have others to be accountable with.
Thank you for doing this!
Dr. Debbie |
