When Im not allowed to spend money, Im a lot more creative! Submitted by Dont Go Over in October participant Leah P. Heres something Ive learned this past week in regards to money: When Im not allowed to spend it, Im a lot more creative. For example, a really good friend was broken up with this week. Normally, I would have taken her out for drinks or made a Breakup Basket with stuff to keep her busy or make her feel betterwine, nail polish, my favorite breakup book, Its Called a Breakup Because its Broken, etc Instead, I went over there and we watched dumb, non-romantic comedies, made headbands with materials I already had at my house, and made mixed drinks with vodka I already had in my liquor cabinet. She felt a lot better and I didnt spend any moneyalthough, I did end up buying the book for her the next day anyway. I guess if Ive learned anything, at least in the first week, its that there are always alternatives to spending money if you just put a little thought into it. But thenyesterday I bought a bra and underwear set at HM, that I didnt need, just because it was only $15, and I couldnt pass up that DEAL!! Thats how I know Im not quite there yet.
