I successfully made it through a weekend without adding to my debt. Granted I didn't really go anywhere but you have to start somewhere. Got my new issue of Glamour magazine in the mail today and there is an article on how to get your money right. And guess what advice they had? Stop spending. Rocket science I tell you...right up there with lose weight= eat less and exercise more! So okay I get it. I already sent the cards through the shredder and avoided additional spending this weekend. But I got hit with an alarming service bill for the car and had to take another dip in the savings pool. This is stuff I gotta learn to live with because it will continue to happen. Good thing I actually have a small but useful savings pool- not everyone does.
And then I decided "wouldn't it be cool to buy a keyboard and learn to play piano?" A short time ago I would have gone straight to Target and bought a keyboard and some sort of "teach yourself how to play something or other" but I abstained. A small but important victory!
So if you want to read a good article about money as well as many other action packed reading, check out the September issue of Glamour.
As far as my desire to play the piano- I will add it to the must save for list.

Good for you! Small steps I tell ya. Buying items outright with cash is always a better feeling than the plastic.
