30-Day Spending Fast

My 30-day deadline is fast approaching and I haven't written a single post since the first. Shame on me for not keeping my word but mostly for breaking my spending fast after the first day......!!!  Was it worth it?  No! The answer is a BIG. FAT. NO!  I spent my hard earned money on Dr. Pepper from Sonic.  It is hard for me to pass up a chance to get an ice cold soda on a hot South Louisiana day.  Ugh, the disappointment I feel.  Even though Dr. Pepper's are my guilty pleasure it wasn't the only thing I spent money on.  I did get a few good deals on party supplies that I will be using at the end of the year for my son's 5th birthday.  I mean really good deals!!!!!! I just couldn't pass it up.  However, if I don't get a hold of my finances he might not get that birthday party after all.  So, my 30-day spending fasting was not the huge success I had hoped for but I am not giving up.  I intend to continue this until I get it right.  I think it is a good lesson and a great continuing habit.
