June Mini-Resolution

I'm coming to a close with my PhD (sooner rather than later), and I tend to need "goals" in my life to work for and toward. I guess it's just part of my personality. So, I think I'm going to start making mini-resolutions each month. And, my first one is going to be related to my finances. After going through my expenses for the month of May, I've made a mini-resolution for the month of June:
  • No dining out in restaurants for the entire month of June.
If I spent almost $400 last month eating out, let's see how much better I can do. It'll take some planning and foresight on my part, especially with the boys, but let's see how well I/we can do.

(And, for the record, since paying off my credit cards in February, I have not charged on them sense. Debit card, all the way. Not too bad, I'd say.)

I know you have been a Mom for a while now :), but this blog kind of sets up the kind of planning that I had to do so I could avoid the trips to fast food joints because I couldn't think about or even care about what was for dinner that night. I still shop every Sunday and have the meals posted on the refrigerator so that I don't forget in my dissertation haze...just an idea ;)
