New budget
In the process of creating a budget for the next six months. I doubt I will use all the lines, but this is what it looks like so far...

Saved myself
I was mindful and resisted the AMEX! Yes, I just bought this travel jewelry case and instead of using the card saved in my profile (my AMEX), I pulled out my debit card from my wallet and entered the numbers. It's a little step, but $15.13 won't be added to my debt!
The reason for this purchase is because I housesit so much, and also stay at my boyfriend's house a bit, and organizing my jewelry is always a pain. In fact, if this one works, I may order another one and use one for silver and one for gold.
Sometimes I wrap my jewelry in a scarf, bandana, or let it roll around in my purse or bag. Not a good way to treat jewelry, or be able to find it when you want it! Just two days ago I thought I had lost a beautiful silver ring; found it later in the bottom of my bag. What a relief!

Slow and steady
Here I am sitting in Starbucks enjoying a lovely Americano in my stainless mug. Starbucks isn't my favorite place to have coffee for a few reasons, but for Christmas I received a $30.00 gift card which I was very thankful for. They have this really neat app for iPhone where you can pay by scanning your phone instead of carrying your gift card! That and the Cinnamon Dolce are the two coolest things at Starbucks, in my opinion. Oh, wait, the velvet chairs that some locations have are awesome too! BUT...the coffee. It's. Just. Not. That. Good.
My online sales have been on the upswing which I'm happy to see, because, this means more money that can go to my overspending that has been weighing on me. Who knew a small piece of plastic could weigh so much! I've been working on my inventory room so I can see what I have. Now that I see it, and have created a bit more working space, I'll be able to get it sold! -- Can't wait to finish my inventory so I can get to selling and making money!!
Honestly, I'm not going to go gung-ho on my paydown, but I will definitely work on it - at least that's how I feel right now.
Hope all your debt repayments are going well.
