The Day I Died


Okay okay.

So maybe the title is a little bit (a lot) of an exaggeration.


Financial Peace University Update:

This week I cut up my credit cards. 

GASP. SCREAM. CRY.

#DaveRamseyMadeMeDoIt

It took me a while to actually take the evil scissors and cut them into little tiny pieces.

{deep breaths michelle}

I did the major one Monday (easy because that one is maxed out) and two yesterday (the hardest).

It was a tough battle...with myself and the scissors.

{"Well I might need this or that. I'll keep it just in case. I am moving out, I might need apt decor. Etc...etc....etc."}

Odd how one can be so attached to plastic.

I felt like I lost my security blanket.

I know I will be happy for this moment looking back. 

But it's tough. I am a shopaholic. I love fashion.

This is probably going to be the hardest thing for me to do. NOT SHOP.

And not going out to eat or buying my favorite $4.02 Starbucks drink.

Not treating myself to a new pair of shoes because I deserve it or because I am sad and boys suck.

I have cancelled my gym membership. I have learned to be okay with not getting pedicures/manicures.
