I had all but forgotten about my pledge to write weekly in 2017. I fell off of the #nobuy2017 wagon in about May. I just completely forgot what I wasn’t supposed to do. 🙃 But my big purchases were really experiences and books (📚 my nemesis). I did have to buy school clothes, but those were necessary. I am not a professional dressing person. I have no desire to have a wardrobe. I just want to be comfortable, clothed and warm/cool.
I have minimized more. I’ve parted company with stuff that has been stuck back in the closet. I have passed things on (Jennifer wanted the Little House books 😁). And I whittled down the Christmas decorations that held no meaning. I guess if you are going to stay in my home, you better have meaning! There will be more purging as the year passes. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have also whittled down debt. I am not completely in the clear, but in a few months bye-bye credit card debt. I think the biggest challenge now is living within my means. Saving for experiences and reading the books I already own (taking advantage of the beautiful library 📚)!
As far as John, we are in a comfortable place. We have 31 years together and will celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in Mexico. We are so excited. I know that one holiday away will not set the stage for the next 30 years, but it will be an amazing springboard.
