Balance: $314.05
I spent 29% of my monthly income.

At the beginning I didn't know what to expect, and I didn’t know if I would be able to take myself very seriously in this matter. I think I did a lot better than I thought I would. There’s not much I would change about my thirty days, I am glad I went to the mall with my friend. There was a bunch of different things I liked, but didn’t buy. I believe I controlled myself very well at the mall, and I am proud that I did. This quest has helped me tremendously.

I used to spend twice the amount as I did this month, I plan to keep my spending down to this amount, and hopefully I keep improving on my bad shopping habits. Thank you for reading my blog.

Day Twenty-Six

It is Friday, and I am glad it is finally the weekend. My fiancé and I plan to go over to my parent’s house and eat supper. My mom now works night shifts, so she will be leaving around 9:30 PM. My step-dad wants us to come over and play card games after we eat. I think we might do that, but my fiancé won’t get done working tonight until about 7:30 PM. He had to take a load of pigs to Sioux City, and he is training their new employee. The new employee happens to be my “Uncle Curtis” (not really my uncle but step-dad’s best friend) from Jacksonville, Florida. Today I have not spent any money, and I have not spent any money all week! I work again Sunday, and I’ll probably have to get gas.

Balance: $293.60

Day Twenty-Four

Wednesday, I worked like I normally do, and made around $61. I brought two pops to work and my lunch. After work I went home and worked on homework! Loads of fun!!!

Balance: $293.60

Day Twenty-Three

Today, Tuesday, I just worked on my accounting homework. Around lunch time I made something to eat for all of the hired help on the farm. After I finally finished my homework I watched some NCIS with my fiancé.
Balance $232.60

Day Twenty-Two

Monday, I didn’t do too much. I worked on homework, & sat around bored. I didn’t spend any money. Boring day! Boring day! Boring day! Boring day! Boring day!

Balance: $232.60
