Comment on this post with what you've achieved over the past week! Let us know what you're going to do over the next week!

I just made the last payment on my credit card. The balance is $0. I am aware that I might have to pay a couple of dollars interest to close it, but that sucker is GONE!

\o/
Before next week, I will: Cancel the credit card

How about a physical thing? Like bringing your lunch to work, or cooking dinner? Or riding your bike instead of taking the car (you may not have a bike, but you get the idea). Something that doesn't require money. Even going to a free park or art gallery rather than a movie.

And thank you!

The thing is, I do most of that stuff already :) I virtually never buy lunch (or dinner) out; I cycle everywhere (I've been getting public transport for the last month as I had a broken thumb, but I'm back on the bike now); I very rarely go out to movies/the theatre. My income is very low, so I'm already in the habit of not doing things that cost money.

I guess my main vice is chocolate (either the good stuff, or cheap-chocolate-while-at-the-supermarket), so I could avoid buying that next week... It feels a bit like the only remaining luxury, though, so it's a bit tough! (Savings vs chocolate... hm :) ) And books, but I'm already out of this month's books/magazines budget, so that's that anyway.

Thanks for the thought, anyway -- I shall ponder it further!
