All right, checking in for the March financial challenge, which was to curb impulse spending. And I did not meet this challenge. I did pretty well for about the first half of the month, and then kind of let it go out the window.
March was a rough month for me, and not to make excuses, but I think that’s part of what happened in my decision making process. I don’t think I would classify it as retail therapy, but I do think I had a tendency to start thinking “This month sucked, screw it, I’m gonna buy what I want.”
I should probably work on that.
Anyhow, didn’t do so great at the challenge. Trying to participate in these challenges each month is making me more aware of my finances in general, so I feel I’m still getting something out of it. Can’t wait to see what April’s challenge is!
