Week 4 Spending Plan Check In

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
~Lao-tzu

So true in ANY adventure!

We are in Week 4 of our adventure with Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University {http://www.daveramsey.com}We are taking steps LARGE and small to eliminate debt.

             This week's new step is to go to a cash system for our gas.

A BIG step!  I was VERY resistant because I like to go, GO, go! I am looking at it now through the lense of "healthy boundaries."

Now I will go, Go.  I will also do a bit more staying and walking to the GREAT parks in my own neighborhood and enjoy my yard.

With this step, we are now on a completely CASH basis.  Such a great visual!  When it's gone, it's GONE!

I have gotten SO much better at assessing if I really "need" something or not.  Looking to see what it actually motivating the need and then meeting it in another way.  For example, if I feel that I need a Starbucks and I don't have cash I think of another  way to pamper myself.

I do have to say that I needed new knee socks since it is boot season.

I found these cuties at Target on clearance for $1.60/pair!  They have some other designs for $2 as well.

Each time you wear them you can think of the steps that you're making towards savings and living the glamorous life!
