Well I have been keeping up with my tracking since Friday and I am beginning to like this game. I know that the key to getting out of debt is to stay intensely focused on the goal. Yesterday I only spent 8.50 (1 on cookies and 7.50 on gas). The day before I bought some groceries but Sunday $2.06 (free burger for calling line at Wendy's) and 2.21 for lunch off $ Menu @ Wendy's. My goal is to not spend over $5.00 on lunch and dinner--out unless it's a special occasion. I got my cable turned off on Saturday and had to fork over $213.00 to get it turned back on. That's money I didn't plan to spend. I would have been doing well if this little "bump" wouldn't have happened. Now I am dreading the red on my bank startment. But to look on the bright side, my NFCU is in the black and I also have a refund coming from QVC and $37.50 from Bowditch Ford so that's close to $100. I feel optimistic because I could possibly go into next payday with only $200?? in the red. I will make sure that I take heed of the 4 wall rule so I need to make a grocery list for the end of the month, actually I need to make up a menu for min of 2 weeks so that I will have a grocery list B4 going into the store. I WILL pay the entire $305 on my electric bill!! Rent+Car+insurance, then everything else. No compromise. I will also pay a tithe. I am loving this journey!!
Thank you Lord.
