After I had my baby seven months ago(!), I decided I wanted to get healthy and in shape. I was tired of feeling the way I did, and honestly, I wanted to feel better about how I look. So for the past three months, I’ve consistently worked out five to six days a week, and I’ve been eating healthier. I’m proud of myself for staying the course thus far. And since I’ve been consistent in that area, I figure it’s time for me to work on another area I feel needs work: my finances.

As a quote I recently read says…

If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have time to do something about it.

It’s time for me to do something about it instead of just worrying and complaining. So my next “personal project” is getting my (our) money right. I’m going to start by taking care of the money I do have and not buying things I don’t need — putting myself on a “no buy” this month: no books, no nail polish. It’ll probably be a little difficult, but I have faith that I can do it! Also, I’ll be working with Chris on creating a budget and coming up with financial goals.

I’m tired of living this way when it comes to money, so I’m deciding to finally do something about it! I truly believe that if I take care of what I have, believe and affirm that I can have wealth and become intentional with my spending and tithing, I’ll have more. Let’s do this!
