Last month of the year, will be makiing it easy for me now that I am working and trying to enjoy the holiday season with my daughter and family. Here are my goals for this month. A little bit late, oops!
Here are my goals for March. For the most part, many goals will be the same, but i will be adding a few more.
Last year I decided to do a no buy year but failed. I think the problem was that I expected to go from shopaholic to not buying a single thing. This year I will do a low buy year, which means I won’t be as strict, but still plan to be more intentional about my purchases. Everyone has different rules based on where they are in their lives. These are my rules for 2022.
Can’t Buy/Spend Money
Clothes for me
Shoes for me
Subscriptions (once special prices run out)
Mugs
Bags/Purses

Electronics
Toys for Selena
Notebooks and pens
Can’t Buy Until I Run Out
Lotion
Soap
Shampoo Bars
Lip Balm
Perfume
Can Buy
1 pair of running shoes
Race entries
Business supplies
Clothes for Selena
Trips
Fast Food (1-2 times a month)
I’ll do a recap at the end of the month to see how it’s going for me. Excited for this challenge and to see everyone else who is participating too!
When I was 27 or 28 years old, I started making a list of things that I wanted to do before I turned 30 years old. Then along came the pandemic and quarantine and bans on traveling and it affected many things on my list. So I revised my list and chose things that seemed “easy” for me to accomplish. However, even those were difficult for me. Here are both lists and I’ll mark which ones I was able to do and which ones I wasn’t. I turn 30 years old next week, so I don’t think I can accomplish any of these before then. I will be adding a few of these to my 2021 bucket list.

As you can see, I only accomplished two things on this list, buying a new phone and a new laptop. I am hoping to accomplish more in 2021, though I have zero plans of travelling this year.
These were my goals from June. Sadly, I failed most of them.
Use my phone less than 36 hours a week, this comes out to a little under 6 hours a day
-I came few two weeks, but the next two weeks I used my phone about 38-42 hours each week
No streaming services aka Netflix, Prime, or Hulu
-Watched Netflix one day and watched Hulu another day, only because I forgot to cancel my Hulu account before I was charged, oops!
Only shop on Amazon once
-I shopped there 9 times!
No Twitter, Facebook, or Snapchat
-Posted once or twice on Snapchat, once on Twitter, and posted once on Facebook, though I went on almost every single day
Run 20 miles
-This was one of the few goals I accomplished. I ran 21 miles in June, including a virtual OC Half Marathon
No shopping at Target
-Shopped at Target twice, which isn’t too bad
20 No spend days
-Not sure how many no spend days I had, but it wasn’t close to 20 days
