No Store February

Guys, I'm going to practice it, it's starting today in addition to I'm so excited!!! 

The holidays are exhausting (like I'm nonetheless exhausted from it) -- in addition to the advertisement in addition to consumption tin simply endure a lot at times. Then Jan rolls simply about in addition to you're off to a fresh start inward simply nearly every category (money included). This Jan has been a niggling chip dissimilar for me since it volition endure my commencement total month "unemployed" -- putting that inward quotation marks alone because I technically work for Covering the Bases Inc. but it's my commencement total calendar month without working at MLB.

Which, every bit I'm writing that is so so crazy to me. I'm getting all sweaty simply thinking nearly it... This calendar month sort of flew yesteryear in addition to looking dorsum it was the longest but fastest calendar month ever. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 whole month without going into the component -- that's crazy! 

ANYWAY perhaps my thoughts on all of that a niggling later... lets circle dorsum to why we're all here. So plainly a loss of income is difficult in addition to I request to re-find a fiscal repose amongst myself in addition to my novel normal. But what I've noticed is that since I'm abode more, I'm spending more. Maybe non to a greater extent than on nutrient in addition to cabs but to a greater extent than on wearing clothing in addition to non necessary items. Maybe I teach bored or simply receive got to a greater extent than gratis fourth dimension than I did inward the past. Whatever reason, I request to receive got a break.

I know this is going to audio soooo dumb but I'm exhausted in addition to overwhelmed amongst shopping. I'm excited when I purchase it in addition to excited when I teach it inward but in addition to so overwhelmed when it's inward the apartment. I experience similar I'm drowning inward things and since I'm hither all hateful solar daytime during the week, I mean value its actually starting to teach to me.

It's fourth dimension to striking refresh. I desire to seat a major agree on my spending (in all categories) for a calendar month in addition to reevaluate inward March. Blogging is such a grab 22 because I brand coin off of advertisement in addition to people buying things in addition to hence request to detect novel things for people to buy. But I'm simply over it correct now. Good matter is that I'm starting to switch to to a greater extent than lifestyle content anyway on the weblog so hopefully that tin attention me repose everything out. WHO KNOWS.

So I promise to depository fiscal establishment tally inward each calendar week to rate yous guys an update, agree myself accountable for everything in addition to proceed rails of where my coin is existence spent. I'm looking to completely halt shopping for clothes, makeup, accessories, beauty, home. I'm going to rate myself a weekly allowance for nutrient (meals out amongst friends) in addition to move (getting to/from classes). And my alone exceptions for this calendar month are 1) sponsored posts -- if I request to purchase something for a campaign, I'm allowed to, 2) anything related to the marriage ceremony in addition to 3) Andrews birthday trip (he doesn't know where we're going) but I'll request to brand some exceptions for this trip but nonetheless no shopping.

Excited to practice this, in addition to promise you're excited to follow along! I did this final March and am going to endure much to a greater extent than strict nearly it all.
