Low Buy Year

I have been working on consistency in budgeting and keeping up with logging our expenses, and I’m seeing more and more how much I frivolously spend. My goal was to start by being aware, and my next step is to make changes.

I ended up on the “no buy year” and frugal living side of TikTok, and I’m honestly learning so much and loving what I’m learning.

I have talked about doing this many times in the past, but I’m feeling a lot more “ready” than ever before.

I have been sitting on this for a bit making sure this is something I can actually do. A lot of this I already do, but I want to just get more consistent with it. Some of it is just a matter of not buying unnecessary things. I am not in need of anything. I just want to focus on the beautiful life that I have.

I have come a long way this year. I have made major progress and am honestly not who I was even a few months ago. Healing has happened this year more than any year before. I’m super grateful. I am aware that things will happen, life will throw curveballs, and things will catch me off guard. I just feel like I can handle it better than before. Honestly, the past few months have been rough but I’ve been okay. This is new. I’m just so grateful.

My main goals this year are: doing what I say I will do, be intentional with plans and goals so that I CAN do what I say I will do, and keep healthy habits simple and slow. I also desire to live more light-hearted and just be in the moment.

Robert and I are also going to get some adventures on the calendar and really be intentional with that as well. I’m so grateful that this is possible!
