CUT CONSUMERISM CHALLENGE {$50 Giveaway}

Its a constant challenge to avoid making impulsive purchases (aka: great deal! purchases) that end up being used infrequently, at most. I’m definitely guilty of making many in-deliberate purchases, myself. If you need motivation to stop doing this, and to start making better use of your money, consider joining me in this month-long challenge!!

The Challenge:

Estimate the number of nonessential purchases you make per month (ex: clothing, shoes, accessories, makeup…). I average about 8-12. Next, set a goal for the maximum number purchases you want to allow yourself in the month of May.  Be realistic. It may not be reasonable to try to go from 20 purchases per month to two, but how about from 20 to 10? Pick a number that you think is challenging, but obtainable. My goal for the month is four.

The Giveaway:
