December is time for frugality......

I set a goal for our family for this month....only five spending days. We need to get back on track and there is no easy way or should I say painless way to accomplish that. So I am diving in head first and am committing to only spending money on five days. Today was day one and we acheived success. I'm sure it will be a day by day but the surest way to having what you want in your life is to do things on purpose.....Not living on autopilot....but on purpose only spending money five days. So today - I carried my lunch, took my own half-n-half for my coffee at work, no lunch-break shopping at the thrift-store, and it was okay....totally doable. A little pain for long-term goals. What are your goals? What are you working for?
