Found $170!

Day 4- 30 Day Money Challenge

Isn't it funny how things can come up and interfere with your plans to stay on course?!

I recently came across $170 that we didn't use during our anniversary trip to Cancun last week. Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining about having extra money. Finding extra money is always a great thing! However, in this case, I don't want to use it towards my "30 Day Money Challenge" goal of $465. It's important for me to be more conscientious about saving on a daily basis as opposed to a weekly/monthly basis.

I appreciate how I'm less cavalier about packing my lunch for work now. I also make sure to eat breakfast at home. I make myself very accountable for all incidentals that might come up and carefully determine whether I truly "need" them before deciding to purchase, or not. The amount of energy required to do this, will determine whether I will continue this trend after the challenge is over.

I like that this challenge offers me the opportunity to truly consider what I can give up in order to achieve my goal. Sometimes, everything we think we need, we already have! Anyway, 26 days to go! Smile

    What are your plans for the $170? I think I would leave it in the holiday fund so I could have a spontaneous weekend away when things get on top of me.
