Well, as much as I wanted to start living the simple life, now I have to. I had to give up one of my 3 jobs so money is going to be really tight for awhile. Now I have to stop blowing money, I don't have a choice. I just need to figure out how to stop smoking and give up my latte addiction and I will be good. I need to learn how to cook, which will really help so we can stop eating expensive junk food. HELP ME!

so, here i am. i made a promise to myself that i will save money and try to make a more oranized, productive life for me and my son. i tend to live from paycheck to paycheck because i waste all my money, usually on clothes that don't get worn and toys that only get played with once or twice before they get taken apart and tossed aside. i cringe when i think of all the money that has been wasted. i have a serious addiction to hats, scarves, and purses and bags. i got past shoes, thank goodness. now my main money wasters are lattes and gas for my vehicle. my gas was never bad until i bought the minivan in september. it uses twice as much gas. i am a merchandiser so i drive all over town so i use a lot of gas. it has doubled since i got the van. i kept telling myself i needed a bigger vehicle for all the stuff that ends up in the vehicle because of me and my son. there is barely any space now because of the four tires and all the boxes in the back.  all that space i could be using for other stuff, like hauling all the unused stuff to the thrift store. i need space in my house so i plan to get rid of most of it soon. i hate to waste money on a storage but i may need to for a couple of months just so i can get rid of everything else. i plan on leaving this state next year so i want to save as much money as possible and take as little as possible. my first step is to drive as less as possible and cut back on coffee. i already stopped buying toys and clothes.
