No Spend Month: Week two

September 12, 2017 By Ligia

Yesterday started week two of our No Spending Challenge. This next week will be tough. I am just getting used to going into “work” which means I am out and about, being tempted by all kinds of stuff like: coffee shops, or drive thru windows.

I blew it yesterday and got a Boba. Yes, I felt guilty. However, I returned some shoes at Kohl’s and got $6 in cash which covered the Boba.

We also sold a few things over the weekend-just things at home- and made $35.  I still have a few things to post online and hopefully sell this week.

One of the rules for this challenge includes getting to spend the money we get from selling stuff.

I still feel guilty-maybe it’s because I didn’t get one for the kids?

Ugh-

Anyways, our biggest challenge is eating out. So I have to stick to my guns and say NO. No to myself. No to the kids. NO to my spouse.

No Spending means no spending.

I know we will be proud of our efforts come September 30th.
