September Budget

I am here today, like every month.. to share my budget with you.

Drumroll please.

So here goes:









Nada. Zilch. Zero. Nothing. You get the point.

I bought nothing this month. Whoopdeedoo, I know, but for me, WHOOPDEEFREAKINGDOO.

When I say I bought nothing I mean clothes, bags, shoes, accessories, etc. I am always wanting something, so I finally said no more and I tried to do a no spend month. I still bought house stuff & books, but books can't count, can they? Well they probably should when they are all Pride & Prejudice related. Ooops.

I daresay this should count for my 30 before 30 goal of going a whole month without shopping - what do you think? Cheating?

In October I am going to try and continue the no shopping including books so if you find a cute copy of Pride & Prejudice for the love of Zeus, don't tell me.

    Noble goal, and keep it up! I'm guessing you are avoiding all malls and stores? haha.

    I just want to say, Pride & Prejudice anything is an allowed exception.

  27. Paige @ An Uncomplicated Life BlogOctober 1, 2014 at 1:08 PM

    Yay for you! No spend is usually my motto, but I blew major cash on clothes this month. I'm cut off for October... Except it IS my 30th b-day month, so I might do some pity-party-shopping. No promises!

    Keep up the good work girl!

    I need to try a whole month without spending as well. I could more than benefit from that. More or less I just need a second job. lol

    I think your interpretation of "no shopping" for September totally (totes magotes) counts. Baby steps, my friend. Also, I am lol-ing at "for the love of Zeus" XD
