Spending Fast Fail

I'm currently on a spending fast. Basically, I've decided to not spend any money on clothes this month. Or really, anything that doesn't fall into the categories of food and personal care.

I am admitting that I have failed my spending fast. This weekend I went to use a gift card my mom gave me for Christmas and ended up spending $60 of my own money. I knew I should have waited until February to use it!

I have also spend some money on ebooks. Overall, this spending fast has not been going well. However, a few bumps in the road does not mean I should give it all up. Instead, I'm back to focusing on my spending fast for the   last two weeks in January.

  1. Even if you spent a bit, I'm sure you've spent a lot less overall than if you weren't on the spending fast :-)

  2. It's ok, just get back on the horse, and finish the month out well!

  3. Thanks everyone! I'm determined to keep to my fast for the rest of the month.

  4. I've been on a low spend challenge and when redeeming a gift voucher, I spent extra too. I'm trying not to let the little mistakes turn into a downward spiral of spending again. I am doing a lot better than I was this time last year though!
