So as I've stated a few times already this year has been good. Nay, it's been great. We've been making positive changes and really forcing ourselves to do out of the ordinary and it's paid off. We've been happy this year. I've loosened the purse strings a bit and have refocused spending money on things we can enjoy longer than just a 12 oz. soda's worth. And......I've slipped.
So I've become a little too carefree with our money. We bought an iMac, went on a $400 random shopping spree at IKEA, and have been buying shit off of iTunes left and right. We've gotten extremely careless and now it's starting to show.
I tried to pay July's rent two weeks ago, but couldn't net the contribution from his Mom this early so we blew the whole paycheck and shrugged off paying rent until my next payday. Unfortunately that means it's getting paid late which begins the snowball effect of paying EVERYTHING. Also, just to compound the situation turns out I've forgotten to pay the electric last month.
So where once we felt the weightlessness of being carefree, now we have to tune it down a bit so we can get back on track. The financial remission we're in isn't even the worse of it.
David's been working the late shift now so we haven't been able to go to the gym. The lack of gym has created a lack of caring when it comes to my diet. I've slacked off and I've slacked off big time. Yesterday for the 4th of July I've had the holy trifecta of Pizza, Cheeseburgers, and Hot Dogs. I felt sick.
We seem to be slipping back into where we were last year and I don't want that. We've done so well in making positive changes and I don't want to go backwards. I want to keep moving forward. I need to figure out a way to derail us from this remission.
But how?
