Hi everyone, and thank you for reading and sharing!
Can you believe it is almost here?? I mean, wow.... Let's see how well I did. Overall, my pledge was to spend zero dollars in 30 days. Well, I did not actually hit this goal 100%. However, if we look at it via percentages, let's look. Yes, let's do the math!!
30 days
2 break down purchases
= .06 of my experiment period where I spent money, not too bad!!
Over the course of these 2 breakdowns, I spent just under $100. $66 for lunch at Chili's, and $25 for Uggs. Now, let's hypothetically look at the similar expenses in a similar window of time. Hmmm.... let's see. In one recent month, I calculated unplanned expenses in the area of $700. And that was not a Christmas month. Another month during this year, the number was way higher... Like $1300 higher!! One different month saw me and my family spend an unaccounted for $1250. Shall I continue, or do you get the drift? Even if we conservatively estimate that I would have normally spent $1000 unaccounted for money during this month, that means I am ahead by at least $900. Also, not too bad. If we are still doing the math, using those numbers, I only spend 1% of what I might have. And if we are being honest, then we know that number would have been much higher.
But is that fair? Is it fair to say, "Look at the damage I could have caused!"? I dunno. Maybe. I think so. Because while I was not perfect in this challenge, I was far more creative, innovative and resourceful than I could have imagined. I was good for 99.94% of the time, which is darn good! So while there were some minor infractions, I am going to go out on a limb and call this a success!
What do you think? More to come on the end of this project tomorrow! That's all for now!
Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts with me! See ya tomorrow! xo
