Cashed down




I always start to HYPERVENTILATE about this time of year.  Its the time when I realise I spent way too much over Christmas and this year is no different? My credit card is weeping in a corner begging me not to use it again - its literally about to go on strike from being overworked.  DAMN you Barbie camper van, damn you iPad, you should be ashamed of what you did to my poor bank account.

Time to cut back.

Time for a week of looking at everything I spend.

Time to ask the question do I really need that.

Time for packed lunches.

...........................................................................................

So how did I go on Day 1?
....train ticket - $33 (definitely necessary)
....v drink - $3.70 (my first fail of the day - am slightly addicted)
....groceries - $19 
....diet coke - $1.40
....TOTAL $57.10

It's a bit scary when you start adding things up on a daily basis. The only thing I can suggest that works for me is to only deal in cash. It makes me think if I really need something before I whip any kind of card out!
