I’ve officially spent thirty-eight days wearing the same clothes, working the same accessories and walking in shoes that are a year behind my time. I survived without making a spontaneous trip to the mall or even a midnight shopping spree to Wal-Mart, but I am quickly learning that I didn’t necessarily have a love affair with clothes and shoes, but on spending money on ANYTHING. What was my major purchase in January? I bought myself some beautiful, expensive hair.
This month will probably be the first month that I stick to my budget that I create faithfully on Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover monthly. If I am truly going to conquer my former consumption habits, it has to involve some hardcore reconditioning. Overconsumption involves a variety of things such as food, finances and resources. It has become clear to me that I spend too much money, eat too much food and need as many resources as possible to get me through this year. Wow!! I am truly a work in progress!
