I guess I skipped my October post

Read 20 books.
Reduce waste.
Pay off consumer debt.
Do two "low spend" months.
Eat more homemade meals.
Stick to a healthier lifestyle.
Deep clean the house.


1. Read 20 Books. Well. November and December have a lot of work ahead of them. I have to read 6 books between now and the end of the year to make my goal!

2. Reduce waste. I feel like I have been pretty good at this.

3. Pay off consumer debt. Yep. Cranking it away.

4. Do two "low spend" months. Uhhh. It for sure wasn't October. Although, I am trying my best to not spend as much. I know I need to be saving money! Having such easy access to things (hello, online purchases...) makes it so easy to buy things so quickly (and therefore so hard to save!)

5. Eat more homemade meals. Yes ma'am. I bring my lunch to work almost every day. We haven't really gone out to dinner for a while. We've been getting meal subscription boxes, which is nice. A good way to switch it up without me having to go to the grocery store as much.

6. Stick to a healthier lifestyle. I don't know. Whatever. I get so frustrated with this cycle. I'll start doing really well, then slack off, then start doing terribly, then start up again.

7. Deep clean the house. I finally cleaned out my closet! Ha! This month I am going to work on the un-finished side of the basement.

My to do list:
1. Keep reading every night before bed.
2. Remember to use re-usable bags.
3. Continue to push through, work extra, and put the money towards debt.
4. Save money!
5. and 6. Keep eating meals at home. Keep bringing lunch to work.
7. Work on the basement!
