Resisting Temptation
| Tue, 11-03-2009 - 8:20pm |
I don't know what it is, but I feel like I have been so tempted to spend money on frivolous things lately. I really wanted to go to Starbucks today to buy a "fancy coffee". Also I have been admiring my girlfriend's nails and have been pondering a manicure. I realize that I can make coffee at home, or do my own manicure for free. But, I am really struggling not to blow some cash.
As I am writing this, I really think that when I am working out my budget for next pay cheque (I get paid on Thursday)I need to put in some money to spend on myself. I think I need to treat myself or I risk completing not following a budget what so ever.
Do you have any indulgences that you allow for yourself? When you pay off your debt, do you think you will indulge in anything that you deprive yourself of now? Have you cut anything out of your budget that you really miss?

Indulgences are important.
I think though, I am turning to food in my debt reduction journey. It is a cheap reward when you have paid all your bills on time and you are sitting at home reading a book(I don't have cable)not going out. Plus I own a convenience store and it is convenient to just grab things. I was doing really good with my walking in the summer but it is so cold here now. I need new motivation to use my work out DVD! Seriously though, I think I have gained 15lbs over the last year, NOT good!
Lipstick has always been a problem but i am getting better as I have so much I could not possibly need anymore.
I have cut down my coffee consumption, in fact I have not had any since Friday so almost a week. I think I over dosed on it one day and it makes my stomach turn now. I have switched to tea. Some of them have caffeine and some don't so I am probably better off. I am making less in the morning so just the bf can have it. Maybe we will save money on this indulgence or maybe I will go back to it lol.
OK
