I have the next 4 days off from work. I am not going to be paid for Thursday and Friday, so I am telling myself that I cannot spend beyond the budget just because I am home. This is going to be a challenge, but I think , no, I KNOW I have enough to do home, and I do not have to go shopping or go spending to be happy and enjoy myself.
I am starting a new job soon, and I DO NOT need any new clothes to start it....sure, I'd LOVE to hit the mall, but no no no no I won't.....!!! I have the right clothes to wear for the first day and many days later, so I am not justified in going out for that. I still have a car repair bill I have to pay off before I can think of "fun" spending anyway!!!!! I haven't used a credit card for 2 weeks which is good for me...
I drove past a gas station this evening when I went out to get a couple simple groceries, and it was the highest I ever saw! I was going to buy gas tonight, but I decided not to...I was wondering if I could just stay home, not go far, and put it off for a couple more days......I am starting to think more about putting unnecessary things off to another day, another week, another paycheck. This is a positive change for me, too.
Tonight I am just relaxing at home...I have a library book I have to get through.....seems a friend of mine really wants to discuss this book with someone because she loves it so much, and foolish me, trying to be a good friend, I said I would, and it is turning out to be torture to read because I just do not like the main character. I am GLAD I am going to be returning this book to the library and that I did not spend any MONEY on it!!!!! Yes,I am spending time, but luckily that is not going to mess with my debt load! ha,ha!
Have a great evening! Littlesbigs
