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.

Good luck on the last 2 weeks!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! Good luck with it!!
ReplyDeleteEven if you spent a bit, I'm sure you've spent a lot less overall than if you weren't on the spending fast :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's ok, just get back on the horse, and finish the month out well!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I'm determined to keep to my fast for the rest of the month.
ReplyDeleteI'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!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck
