Day 1- Banned From Shopping & Starbucks.

So, I'm curious just how long this will last. It almost has to though!

While listening to the radio a few weeks back, the dj's were going on and on about how much a person spends at Starbucks every year. I proceeded to calculate my spending at Starbucks and almost threw up when I realized 4% of my annual salary was spent on coffee. I mean, seriously, coffee??? Wow.

I'm also a gal with a bit of debt. Like most other 27 year old girls, I like to shop. I like to eat out, go out, and socialize. Unfortunately, I like doing these things a lot and a I like looking good when doing so. Before I knew it, I was several grand in debt. This is not an easy hole to get out of. Quite frankly, it blows. So... before I blow any more cash that I don't have, I'm taking a vow of celibacy. Alright, I'm still going to have sex. Instead, I'm taking a vow to not shop for umm, uhhhh.... I don't know... 2 mths. I'm not going to lie, this seems like a long long time to not buy anything.

So here's day one. So far so good... I've been cleaning. I'm now trying on all my old clothes to see if there is something I'm missing when I just stare at them blankly in the morning. I don't think I'm missing anything. There's just something about yanking the tags off of a cute new dress. Here's my official list of things I am not allowed to buy for 2 mths:

-no trash magazines
-no clothes
-no accessories
-no shoes
-no starbucks

that last one hurt.

And... every Monday, I will put $20 towards every CC I have a balance on. That's $60/wk. I'm not sure how that will work, but if I'm spending $20/wk at SB and I probably spend $60-$100 clothes, I should be ok.

Wish me luck. I'm already sad.
