I have a spending problem
Feels good to say that out-loud. Say it with me. "I have a spending problem". Kinda hurts but it will help. I had to say this out-loud a few times after becoming debt free for the second time.
So I bought a Nikon D330 Dslr camera at Costco. Kind of threw the budget out of whack. It was on the list to buy before October. There was a sale and it was $300 off. I sound stupid as I type that last sentence. I paid in cash from my boot strapping business account. But now I'm gonna have to pay myself back.
The purchase was a little out of character for me. Since we only got out of debt a few days ago I need to learn to budget all over. My debt payment muscled are strong. Now I need to strengthen the saving muscles.
Check out how the camera blew the budget
$548 over budget. Thats not cool. Guess how much the camera was... yup $548.31
I'm already working to ward paying myself back for the camera. I realize now how easy it is to fall back into debt. Be careful!!!
