Last year I was doing incredibly well managing my money, but now debt is accruing. I'll need every penny of the bonus pay I'll get this semester to get out of it.
The culprit? Weight loss.
I don't mean the $20/month I give to Weight Watchers for my online-only membership. That's minor and totally worth it. No, I mean the amount of money I'm spending on clothes and shoes. Yes, I also need smaller shoes. My credit card statements for this month show I spent $644 on clothes, and last month I spent $424! That's almost more than I spent on food, which was $732 this month and $640 last month.
Healthy food is expensive. So are new clothes.
Plan: reduce money spent at Starbucks ($75 last month!!). Waste less food. Only buy clothes that are absolutely necessary to get me through the rest of the semester. Which should be nothing. I think I'm prepared now until I drop another size.
