I have to admit that today I’m feeling pretty darn optimistic.  I haven’t spent a dime in the past 2 days, I have a fully-stocked pantry/fridge/freezer, and I’ve just received a $50 rebate from my fabulous cash-back rewards credit card (I put everything on this card, but I never carry a balance so the rewards are just that).  That sweet little $50 is going straight to savings, and it feels gooooood to do so. 

In an effort to stay accountable during this challenge, I will be posting more frequently than usual.  It is my belief that this challenge will indeed be the catalyst for change I so desperately need to see in my spending habits.  I know there will be obstacles somewhere along the way, but I’m choosing to prepare myself by keeping a positive outlook.  I CAN do this and so can you!  Best of luck to my fellow Challengers!!
