Budget Cut

So as the new year comes around I have decided to (finally) get a better grip on my financial standpoint.  I way overspent in November and December last year, and I am financially on the edge, as it seems.  So, as much as it pains me as a spender 🙂, I have decided that for the months of January and February I am not going to “spend” money.  Now when I say this I mean that I am not going to use my spending category in my budget: no baking, no movies, no food, no this or that.  I need to re-get ahold of my spending habits and cut back.   I should control my spending not my spending controlling me.  Along with that I have decide to cut back on movies as well.  I have re-set up a system that I have used before (For those of you who know Bryan Furguson, he taught me this) that charges me $3 per movie that I watch on my phone (that I watch on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video), and I cant spend money so, a lot less movies.  I ask and encourage you to hold me to this if you are willing.  I have been given a couple gift cards for Christmas that I will be able to use if I would like, tho I can’t spend more than what is on them- even if it’s a few cents over for tax or something.  (I also will still be able to pay for fuel, tithing, giving, etc... the regular payments).
