I’ve realized I need to get a handle on my impulses. I’ll pay down debt, only to rack it back up again. Just yesterday, I paid off two cards that I had been using more than I should. SMH.
To break this cycle, I’ve decided to remove my credit cards from my wallet and all the websites I shop on. I also took a hard look at my bank statements for the first time in a year—yes, a whole year. I use software to track my spending but hadn’t updated it in ages. Why? I’m still figuring that out, but I know it’s a big part of my problem. When I don’t track, my spending spirals out of control.
Since December, it’s been weighing heavily on me to get things back in order. It’s been on my mind constantly, and this year I’m making real changes.
Blogging helps me stay accountable, so you’ll see more posts from me as I work to turn things around. Here’s to a fresh start and taking control for real this time!
