It's been about a month since I declared I was going to be not spending money. So far, that hasn't really been working out for me. I knew it was going to be hard. I knew I wasn't going to be able to quit cold turkey. So today, I handed over all of my cards to my mother to lock in her room so that it would be more of a challenge. I deleted all of my card information from the websites I shop from and am now declaring to only spend cash. Which will be easy to be frugal with because now I get it more often, and I can easily separate it into my different payments where I can actually see it. Virtual money (bank accounts, ect.) is a little bit harder for me to visualize where it is going.
And although is doesn't sound ideal if my point is to be making money, I ended up quitting one of my four jobs. But honestly, it was the best decision I have ever made. I only worked one day a week, and I was scared to go to work. My boss was not a very nice person, and I would end up going home in tears after each shift. Some serving hours opened up at the other restaurant I work at, and I jumped on them and threw my former boss my notice. I'm so glad I don't have to play manager anymore, and i actually am making some tips that boost my take home pay to help pay off those credit cards.
I just gotta remember: two steps forward, one step back.
