Today I finally got around to starting my blog for DIVA. After much deliberation on what to blog about, I thought it would be fun, interesting, and beneficial for me to document how I spend my money. As a starving full-time art student, and a part-time worker, I think it would be good for me to see where all of my money is going!
I know that this experience is really going to open my eyes and change the way I see spending money. I have huge spending weaknesses, and I really hope that this documentation gives me a stronger will to resist unnecessary spending!
Buying food is a HUGE weakness for me. I hate taking the time to prepare meals for myself, but eating out is expensive! I need to break these habits asap! And when has there ever been a better time to working towards goals than the new year?
Speaking of goals, I need to keep myself accountable for the following on my blog:
- I promise to post ALL purchases and prices that I make throughout the next 4 months.
Things could get personal, and I'm not sure I feel comfortable exposing myself to that degree, but I'll give you a general idea of what I'm buying, but its the price thats important!
- By doing this, I will be able to keep track of how much I am spending. So at the end of the semester, we will get to see just how much money I've blown! (>.<) Annnd in other words, how much I could have saved.
- Lastly, I promise to be dedicated. This is going to take mucho commitment on my part, and there's no point of doing something if your only going to go halfway. Especially if it's something like this! I will probably need to post a lot more than once a week to make this blog work. I promise to do my very best!
Well, wish me luck! It's safe to say I have never done anything like this before!
I'm feeling pumped for this!
