30 Day Spend and Save Challenge

I made my spending plan and it goes into effect Friday October 1. Over the next 30 days, I am challenging myself to live within my means and stick to my plan. Can I do it? Yes. Am I afraid of failure? YES!!! I think it would be a lot easier if I had people to keep me accountable. Can you guys help me? Each week I’ll update you on my progress. I need you guys to keep me in line. If I’m being a bad girl and not following the plan, feel free to lash out on me (just keep it clean). I posted my spending plan again so you can show me where to make changes before I start. You can also join me in this challenge. Make your own spending plan and challenge yourself to stick to during the month of October. Remember, it’s all about steps to financial freedom.

  1. It looks like your did a good inventory on expenses. Don't forget that you can add to your income by selling clothes you don't wear anymore or things you don't use. I will be here to cheer you on!

  2. Thanks I'll remember that. I have some stuff I want to get rid of it, but I usually give them to Goodwill. I do want to look into selling them though

  3. Either you are very skinny or you live with someone who pays most of the groceries....I'm guessing the latter :)
