As part of our financial make-over, we have decided to try an experiment :-)
We love eating out, but it is also one of our biggest down-falls with budgeting. SOOOO we decided that for 1 whole month - we would not eat out! No eating out, unless it's from our "fun money" from our cash system (which is usually gone after play dates and such).
We set up a calendar by our door and we check off each day as it passes. It is a constant reminder of our goal, each time we leave the room - we see where we are going and aiming for.
We are on 2 day and going strong ;-) Today was hard, since it was Ash's first day off for the week - and I have a feeling after a while, it will feel second nature to eat at home for all 3 meals. We didn't eat out a ton, but it was nice to eat out maybe 2 times a week & grab coffee once. So this will be interesting :-)
My next project -
If looking at a calendar reminds me of our financial goals, I should also put up Bible verses, to help me also remember the most important parts of my life.
