Day 29: Kicking the Online Spending Habit: More Positive Results

Gorilla_to_Monkey

Although I’m not officially tracking the online spending habit anymore, I’m still seeing new, positive results worth reporting.

This month, my credit card payments were really low. Not only does it feel good to see such small numbers on my monthly statements, I can’t begin to describe how good it feels to know I can easily pay these bills in full without any concerns about the effect on my bank account.

The lightness and sense of space I have is wonderful.

A few days ago I was buying a Christmas gift for my husband and I noticed a necklace I’d been looking at for a while that was on sale. I added the necklace to my cart. Then, thinking about how much I enjoyed those low credit card bills, I thought, “I already have quite a few necklaces, most of which I never even wear. Why buy yet another necklace I may or may not like. And why deal with having to return something?”

So I removed the necklace and bought only the gifts.

Feels like the 800-pound gorilla I was struggling with is now like a little monkey.

This is a big win for me! Yeah!
