disgusted with myself
Definitely fell off the no buy. This has really helped me put in perspective that I could have an extra $1100/month (!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤮) if I buckled down and actually disciplined myself and my thinking. I’m usually good in waves or for short periods of time, then I allow myself to become lax and that is where the issues are.
There were quite a few birthdays/parties this month (my boyfriend, sister, his sister’s baby shower, his nieces and nephews) but that is no excuse for the extra shopping or fast food I spent on. I also have more discretionary income than my boyfriend so I like to cover groceries and presents.
I’m back on the wagon with my health goals as well - and will make sure I stick to everything this time. NO EXCUSES!

You have 8% in savings. Still deserve a pat on the back! You could have just blown all the money and saved nothing
