What is something or somethings you are not willing to brand change or give up on this journey. I will start.

I just bought 3 lipsticks through Avon(I sell it) They were out of my profits so they didn't cost me anything but I still should have snow flaked the cash I was going to make. I buy all my soaps, deoderant, shave get, mascara and gifts(things I need to buy anyway) through my profits but I surely don't need the over 50(yes 50) tubes of liners, lipsticks and glosses I have. It is just a bad habit I have. I guess I will look good getting out of debt LOL. And diet soda is problem. I probably have one or two a day. I am trying to move over to water(and green tea), I really am, but it is hard for me. I will keep trying. I have been better at consuming less beer than last month. Sadly, some of that has been replaced with the diet soda but..baby steps.

So ladies, what are your vices?

Media...I know its one of the big things they encourage you to give up when you ar.e in debt, but to tell the truth...I would rather give up food...I need to lose weight anyways, lol. I get a great price on internet through work and I have the lowest direct tv plan, no extras or premium channels, but again, these two things Im keeping until the very last. Being this poor, we havent had vacations in years and who knows when we will have them again, if ever...we dont spend on any other type of entertainment...well we used to go to a movie a month, but not in the last few months, so its something I am not willing to give up. I guess it makes me shallow but these two things are my guilty pleasures.

I can't give up good skin products - I use Murad which is a little pricey but it does last a long time.

i won't stop having the occasional meal out, a bottle of wine and the occasional get away. These help me survive and spur me to do overtime at work. My debt repayment is slowed i know but that's the way it will have to be.


This week i treated myself to a laptop......i love it! Overtime paid for it......now i need to do more overtime and pay down debt so i won't feel guilty...lol!
