No Spending September

So I'm trying to figure out my 25 while 25 list still. I made a list of things I want to do, but I started writing it out on here and felt overwhelmed. That's not a good start now is it?

But! One thing I do want to do on that list is No Spending September. I spend too much money. I'm a bit too frivolous and can get in a habit of spending and buying whatever I want (within some reason, but things I could definitely live without). Sooo I'm going to try not to spend money on anything other than necessities during the month of September. Necessities are:

1. Groceries
2. Bills
3. Toiletries

ummm I think that's it. I don't know if there's anything else that could be a necessity. I am allowing myself to eat out for lunch once a week, because that's the only time the entire week that I leave the dang hospital between 9am and 5pm and I crave the sweet sooty air of NYC rather than the processed recycle nast of the hospital. That's my indulgence. So there we have it. I'll let you know how successful I am!

I did this once last year (it was done more as a bet by my husband) but it was awesome. Totally changed my perspective on buying/spending money on things I don't need. You will be happy you did it.
