My goal in March was…
Due to a little more spending than planned in January and February (after Christmas sales… And some gorgeous shoes) I decided to cut back my spending in March, by a lot. The phrase “cold turkey” comes to mind. I decided that I would go through march with only paying my Netflix subscription for my personal/entertainment spending. And guess what? I SUCCEEDED!!! It was incredible! And I had very enjoyable month playing with games I already had and looking forward to the DVD’s I had coming in the mail.
April however the ban on spending was to be lifted and naturally I have been looking forward to April for most of March.
On March 31st whilest browsing the used video games offered at Amazon.com thinking about what I planned to buy in April I noticed an incredible deal on a video game I had been wanting for some time now. However, it was still March, and there was only one of the video game… and I was determined not to break my resolve even though I would be sad that I missed the video game should someone else buy it before I did… Then I remembered that April started at midnight!!!
So at 12:07 A.M. April 1st 2008 I completed the purchase of my new video game. It was $8.98 including shipping. And despite being a bit sleepy today I am very glad I stayed up and got it and even more glad that I kept the goal I set for myself:)
