Impulse buying!

Impulse buying is obviously a big problem for me, its my nature I am like this with everything. We are getting better about it over the last year and though it sucks, we are beginning to see the fruits of that labor with 3 paid of credit cards so far. I just like saying that over and over.

Waiting overnight is difficult but it does give you a chance to stew it over. I think that looking at the budget while thinking about it also can be helpful. You know remind ourselves why we are doing this. The 90 days same as cash still gets me cause I still, even now, will try and tell myself that I can pay it off before the 90 day.

Our last biggest purchase, was that stupid car, and boy I am still dizzy when I think about how I managed to convince myself that we needed it. I like talking to my husband about things, especially when we are on the same track. When I am weak, he is strong and mindful of our mission to freedom!
