Hmm...

I can't believe it's June.

I am half way through this excellent {cursed} experiment of mine. I have learned a lot so far, so that's really great.

Hubby is now, as of this month, taking over our bill paying duties. I think this will be excellent on many fronts. Less stress for me on all of it. He's great with money too, so I know it will all be in good hands.

I have learned that I don't need to buy something just because it's a good deal. I am a lot better at identifying when I need something {vs. just want}.

Recently Ryan and I were going to a birthday party, and he wanted to go to Target to get a gift card. I told him we needed to just get it somewhere else and that I didn't want to go in there. He found this quite amusing...

Hubby: "Let's go to Target and just grab a gift card really quick."
Me: "Can't we just get it at Starbucks?"
Hubby: "Why?"
Me: "I just really don't want to go in there."
Hubby: "HAHA. It's like keeping a crack addict away from crack, I guess?"
Me: "Sure... something like that. Thanks for the support, appreciate it."

Oh well. He has been very pleased with my experiment.

Anyway. All is well on the no spend front.

Okay ta ta. It's bday/date night with hubby. So excited! : )
