From Cath's Desk - February 2016
Hello Cheapskaters,
Welcome to a new Cheapskates Journal and a brand new month of Cheapskating.
February is No Spending Month and I've been following along with how you're doing through the Member's Forum. I'm so proud of everyone, even with some unexpected events you're all staying aware of No Spending and sticking to it as best you can. I can't wait to see how you finish up the month and how much you'll have saved.
How are you finding the new timing of the Journal? I'll admit to my OCD tendencies not liking starting a new Journal in the middle of the month - it just seems wrong to me, especially after 15 years of publishing on the first of the month. I know that your loving getting my meal plan before the start of the month though - thanks for the positive feedback, it is appreciated.
Being a little OCD can be a good thing, it usually is. But sometimes what we know and repeat over and over can be a bad thing, especially when it comes to bad spending habits. This month's Journal is all about developing good spending, saving and budgeting habits and breaking those habits that cost us money for good.
I've posted a slide show with a worksheet that outlines how you can save $4,000 (or more) in a year - and do it painlessly too. It will help you break those bad habits that are costing you money and you'll be richer at the end of the year - who wouldn't like that?
Have a great month everyone (and enjoy ditching those bad habits).
