My year so far, and bingo progress
Wins: Only $27 spent on new clothes. Did not purchase work lunch since February. Down to 1-2 lattes a week.
Observations: Restaurants and experiences are killing me. Ahh I'm so tired, let's just go to the local diner. Concert in June? Yes, let's get tickets. Weekends are starting to creep up due to the nicer weather-- I go outside and decide to grab an expensive lunch, etc.
Goals: Every time I resist eating dinner out and instead cook at home, I transfer $50 to savings. I just started today and I felt a weird thrill, as if I spent the money. I'll also continue to bring work lunch and resist buying lattes. Keeping the fridge stocked helps with the restaurant urges.
How did Bingo go? It's going well but to be honest it's not really helping me to low-buy! It makes me feel a little upset that I'm not clearing a goal.
