My deal with myself

Today I decided after a bit of thought that I am going to try and spend $0 the rest of the month on April. I came to this conclusion when I preemptively spent money I thought I was going to have on pay day. Turns out I was wrong and now I am broke. I feel bad because I have promised I would give my mom some money for the bills she has been paying for me. The only exception to my deal is Easter. I have to use money for gas and Easter it's self but besides that NADA!

My plan:
1) I will use only my meal plans here at school for eating. I will get dinner and then I will use the rest, for I get 2 a day, to get my breakfast from this place called Dashes.
2) i am seriously going to hide all my source of money spending, i.e. my debit card and check book, which my roommate will not tell where they are.
3) I will make a written proposal on HOW and WHY i need to use money and she will made the decision to let me or not. (I trust her to only use it for emergencies)
4) I will spend more time on my studies and money free activities to keep my mind occupied.
5) I will constantly remind myself of the benefits of this challenge.

Today I watched Precious. It made me think and only further solidified my mind. I groan about the silliest things and look how much I have. While my life may not have been that of a Rockefeller I am still very privileged. There is a picture I will try and share that details my point better then I can. I hope all you who read this will support me because I know today seems like a victory, tomorrow may be bleak.

Bye for now!
