That may not seem like a ton of money, but that's $274.38 that I could use somewhere else...pay off debt primarily. Watching where I spend money has been revolutionary for me. I was a spend-a-holic! Just becuase there was a deal...I would purchase. I wouldn't pay attention to weather or not the advertised sale was an actual deal nor evaluated whether I really need to buy that item.
I am a changed woman!
Now don't get me wrong...I will still splurge on the things that I want, and there are some things that I'm a brand snob about (mostly make-up), so I'm not being crazy frugal....just smarter with my money.
My goal is to pay off my credit card debts by my birthday in January....happy birthday to me! Then I can concentrate on actually putting money into savings. Slow and steady I go!
