I have realized something from blogging and ready the PF blogs. It is very easy to live in denial!
Since I have made an effort this year, even though I have made many efforts over the years, it is easy to pretend you spend less than you really do. Especially when you have other accounts to pull from.
I am really trying to see things through a new MORE frugal light. Had a day with my girls today, went shopping, needed to get Easter things, I always assume things will be less than they really are. I never want to really think about the big picture, just one day at a time.
I always figure what I need right now and to heck with the future. Well that is what gets me in trouble, perhaps writing my weaknesses will help me to change.
Thanks in advance for your support, does anyone else live in denial??
I am the queen of denial. It ain't just a river in Egypt. One of my favorite sayings. I always under estimate costs.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I live in denial, just surprised at how quickly things add up. Use spendingdiary.com to track your spending, and you will awaken out of denial...promise!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are becoming conscious of your spending, and that is half the battle!
