December Challenges

November 28th, 2009 at 06:04 am

I am going to jump in and start December already ... my budget starts over on the weekends, so "technically" I am in December now. Good news, I get three paychecks in December ... bad news ... they are already spoken for as Chrismas/birthday gifts for the little one.

My challenges for the month:

[ ] Have 15 no spend days
[ ] Keep misc. spending under $300
[ ] Cook at home, every day.

I don't know if these are possible, but I am all about pushing my limits. The $300 spending limit does not include regular household bills, gas or Christmas money. It does include buying a magazine or a book to read while waiting in my sisters car pool line, or going to see New Moon ... again.

The cooking at home thing has been a challenge ... mainly during the day when I don't feel like cooking just for myself while my daughter is in school ... but this is something I am going to curb ...

    Good luck! Make a big pot of something and freeze for when you don't feel like cooking, stew, chili, something Juliette ikes...
