Join me for a review of my December budget and a recap of my 2024 low/no buy rules and goals. Plus, all the ways I failed at sticking to those rules, and realizing that those categories are not the real problem at all.
December was another $0 savings month, but that was expected.
Summary:
- $363 saved in Q4
- $2432.67 saved in 2024 overall
My biggest challenge this year was dining out.
My No buy rules for 2024 included:
NO beauty bath hair accessories bags, etc. clothes tea books stationary fragrances excess consumables
Overall, I failed, but my spend in these areas was not as bad as my dining out spend.
