Nothing New This Month
April already and now daylight savings is over until later in the year.
April for me is NOT TO BUY ANYTHING NEW FOR ONE WHOLE MONTH!!!!!
This means I will buy the essentials (food, petrol, electricity etc).
Why am I doing this:
1. to show my children (and my husband) you can go for a whole month and not buy anything new.
2. to save more money for my kitchen renovations. (I want to be able to pay cash for these).
3. to prove to myself I can do it.
I am really trying this year to live my life in a more simplified way. I think I am too materialistic and really need to change. I don't need to keep up with the 'Jones'. I remember a number of years ago someone made a comment about how they need to get (insert object) because our neighbour just got one. I just laughed about it at the time but it somehow has stayed with me.
I am really questioning what type of person I am becoming. Do I really need the largest high tech gadget? Probably not!
I read so many great blogs that really motivate me to become more self-sufficient. I will link their blogs later (not too sure how to and I want to check with them to make sure it is ok as well).
I am really excited about my change. I know it will be hard but I know I will make some changes.
Have a great day.
