how much is too much.

i have a weakness for shades from forever 21

i decided that the month of february i would spend less money. so aside from monthly bills (and a few times eating out) i didn't really buy anything. i stocked up on groceries in the end of january and didn't spend money on many outings.

it helped that i had acl surgery on february 1st and didn't really leave the house for 2 weeks. after that it was mostly church and physical therapy outings. i made friends come to me and watch movies :)

SO. how to keep up thriftiness and smart spending? i saw this principle on a blog a long time ago and though i'd share. the $100 rule.

when you're about to buy something ask, "would i spend $100 on this?" the answer almost exclusively is no. i like the idea. i'm going to employ it for awhile and see if it actually works :)
