2013 New Year's Resolution
Unplug from the media
Track every dollar
Slow down
February is the month of making do, raining in the spending, living on less. An exercise to prioritize needs and wants. I call it a money fast. Fasting detoxifies the body, similarly the money fast helps eliminate the unnecessary. I welcome a simpler life, with less details to attend to, and more time to enjoy the present moment.
My day starts with brewing a cup of coffee, while warming up milk for bottles, making my lunch for work, and breakfast for a picky eating three year old. This multi-tasking whirlwind continues until all little feet are tucked into bed at night, way too late.
My strategy is to fund only priority expenses. I will track all expenditures and refrain from buying. I dread becoming conscious of my shopping addicted secret self, who lurks about on the Internet buying stuff.
Moments go by.....9 month old baby girl......now is 3........9 month old baby boy....soon will be 3.
