After NaBloPoMo there’s NoBuMo

Okay I just totally made that acronym up NoBuMo (no buy month). But there ARE people that do this. Just listen… (or read, if you want to get technical)

I’d suggest to myself to do the “No Buy Month” (again) in December. But really that’s going to be pretty difficult as I’ll be home in Newfoundland, driving my parents car, hanging out with old friends, going to the climbing gym, and perhaps an abundance of partying and dancing downtown on George. Just silly to even think about doing that in December.

I think I’ll start up again in January, or maybe February. It was so difficult last time that I think I broke it one or twice – which really doesn’t count seeing as it’s a NO BUY month, and I BOUGHT things. Complete fail on that one Nancy-pants.

You know, the whole point of doing this is to save money and see how much you’ll end up with towards the end of the month. But what’s the fun in that? I always try to find a reward, and treat myself if I get to the end of the month, and treat myself with a new article of clothing that I’ve been oggling over, or maybe something as simple as a $5 eyebrow wax.

So who’s with me on this extremely difficult challenge? (I’ll let you know at a later date, when I plan on actually starting… heh)
