Catch ‘em while they’re young.
Maybe if I write this down and make it more public I’ll actually do it. … I just started working in a new clothing store, where I happen to like a lot of the clothing. On my first day I spent nearly $100… on my 2nd day nearly $100… that was while I was training in Kitchener. I started at my new store in Guelph this week and have spend probably around $300 at that store. …
1. A maximum of $100 a month will be spent on a new clothes.
My new store is in a pretty urbanized part of town, there is lots of fast food around… a subway right beside us, on the other side a Gino’s Pizza. There is a Manchu Wok, A&W, KFC and Taco Bell in the food court… Worst of all, there is a Mc Donalds within a 3 minute walk away, and a Starbucks within reach. I’ve had McDonalds 3 times this week (and almost did again today…) and Starbucks every day except for one.
Alright, now the obviously bad part of this is that McDonalds is just flat out bad for me and is slowing killing my insides with every big mac that enters my digestive system … but the other side is that it isn’t cheap. A caramel macchiato is just flat out expensive, nearly $5… and if I get a muffin or scone it’s another $2… Soo…
2. A maximum of one McDonalds meal every 2 weeks, and no more Starbucks.
That’s it. That’s all. This shouldn’t be hard to do, right? ….Right. Besides, I need to save money to pay off my loan and go on all my fun trips in June. So no more. Sorry McDonalds, I love you, but…. I can’t keep it up.
(p.s. I didn’t see cigs on there… is this a good thing?)
