Some Spending

January 8th, 2016 at 07:17 pm

My daughter had her first flute lesson with her new teacher on Wednesday. Of course, new books were suggested. We purchased them and got 20% off because we take lessons there at the store. Out of pocket was about $24.

I had to pick up a couple things at Walmart. Tortillas, salt and three boxes of tissues. Spent about $7.

I also bought deodorant and a photo storage box (two different locations) and spent another $7.

My husband is taking his dress uniform into the dry cleaner tonight, so well have some money spent there when they are ready.

We have plans to go out to dinner tonight. Last night college daughter is home until spring break. We will end up spending a little on gas tomorrow to get her to the airport (she's flying out of one about 1.5 hours away).

I did tell my husband about the no spend month planned for February. He said he doesn't spend much money, yet he has spent at least $140 on things specific to him since the beginning of the year. I'm not saying these weren't needs or okay to buy, but that IS spending!! He does seem on board. I think we may have to be specific about what we aren't spending money on (entertainment, alcohol) and what we are. More on that once we discuss it further.

    Good luck with getting the husband on board for the no-spending month!

    A no spend month is much harder when you have other people involved. Good luck with getting your husband to go along!
