On day 5 of a more frugal December for myself. I somehow had a wake up call last month and have decided to change my ways.
When I first moved into my apartment, I was pretty frugal and vigilant, but then the fast food, wasted gas, you name it started to creep in.
Nothing wrong with fast food, or going for a drive, but without the bigger picture in mind, I can be reckless and wasteful.
So the past 5 days I’ve been cooking at home, and haven’t been stopping at gas stations for soft drinks and slim jims etc. - I’ve gotten into this thing from time to time where I constantly live and eat like I’m on a road trip.
So I feel good because near the end of November I was hit with a ton of anxiety about my finances and the direction my life was going. Having a different mindset makes me feel like I have more control over my resources, and like more is coming in than what is going out.
I still have a way to go, but it almost feels like I’m recovering from an addiction and it’s very freeing in a way.
Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.
