So my struggle with money is nothing new to me. <\/p>\n

I’ll even admit that part of it is my own fault. Because I like to buy clothes. Lots of them. Sometimes I "need" these clothes, other times I don’t. <\/p>\n

Today I’ll be taking some clothes back to Target. I’ll keep one of the sweaters for work, but the other…four…. I’m taking them back. The $50 means more to me than the clothes, and I need to stop doing the whole spending thing. <\/p>\n

I’m trying to live a less wasteful life. And a cleaner one. And a more frugal one. <\/p>\n

Which means I probably won’t be seeing Nancy today because I can’t afford it. <\/p>\n

No eating out. I’m going to be good. That will save me over $100 a month. <\/p>\n

I need to cook for myself, so Pete and I aren’t constantly eating out. <\/p>\n

I wanted to have all of my debt paid by now, but it feels like it will never happen because everytime I need money, I have to kill my entire emergency fund. We’re talking all $300 of it. And the stupid Focus likes to do things to me, like kill its battery and make funny noises. <\/p>\n

But anyway, I’m done with complaining. I’m just bothered for now. <\/p>\n

Question: What did you do with all your old T-shirts? I have so many tennis ones and other ones that mean something to me, but they take up so much space. I might need some space bags, but then what am I keeping them for?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
