Well, I passed by the weekend without much damage to my pocketbook. I actually didn't spend too much money at all. It is quite a challenge to see things in the store and say: "No, I don't need them"!

That's really good... Hopefully it wasn't because you just didn't see anything you didn't want.

Maybe you already have everything you need in life? Do you go to church or are your a Christian? Good luck on this next up coming weekend!

Maxine the weekends coming up, i hope you succeed through this one too. you have to admit not spending money makes you feel much better longer than when you do spend money. Best of luck :)

You know Im not the best person with money either but I mean I will pay my bills on time and make sure that everything is in order but after that I will happily go out and buy things just because I can and not feel bad about it at all.

Good Job! Hopefully next weekend you will be just as successful -- or even not spend any money at all. Its very hard -- keep yourself occupied and away from places that are tempting. Try to get into a new pattern -- like go to the library and catch up on your magazine reading -- nothing is for sale there, so you are pretty safe. I spent a ton of time reading magazines at the library when I was my poorest. Good luck!
