Default Okay, so it was actually painful...

We took the kids to San Antonio yesterday and passed 2 awesome outlet places on the way. Since I am budgeting heavily and not buying anything for the next month, I sat in agony while we drove past.
Pathetic but true.

LOL! I hear you! My husband seems to have this unrealistic idea that I'm not going to spend a bunch of money while we're in Florida. He knows better though!

Oh ya! We took the kids to Sea World. They had a blast. And then we had dinner at Teka Molino, my absolutely favorite Mexican place in the world. I was a happy girl. Of course I could see the fabulous Northpark Saks 5th Avenue out the window while eating. That didn't help.

Why the shopping ban? When u r deprived of something u love, it only makes it worse and u end up binging more. Wouldnt u have been happier to go in and buy a small trinket like a cute mini skinny or something on sale?
just my opinion

Well...... I'm on a shopping ban because 1) my 5 yr. old dd just had a root canal and crown which cost serious cash, 2) we bought a new car last month, 3) we're having renovations done on the house in less than a month and I'm hoarding for that so it will be done right, 4) I promised myself that I wouldn't buy anything until I was back in shape, 5) I need to pay for 4 accupuncture treatments and new supplements for my 4 cats on Friday.
So buying frivilous things right now defeat the purpose of the ban. I am trying to prove to myself and my husband that I can hold off and spend the funds on needed things.

Just don't get so wrapped up in the "important" stuff that you let yourself get resentful.

You only live once! And while financial responsibility is so important, it is equally important to make sure you stay content.

I agree to a point.
Resentment would be not getting my walk-in closet. I moan about the outlets but it's worth it for my closet.
