    Default Back to frugality..

    Well, a few weeks ago we went on vacation and since then, I haven't been frugal at all. Now I'm looking at this coming month and I've got nothing but expenses coming up. AAARRRRGHHHH. You will be seeing a lot of me!

    I haven't been very good this summer either. This is my 1st year at being a 'tightwad', and I'm finding out that it is much easier in the cooler months. Life's pace is slower, and I just spend more time at home & in the kitchen.

    I'm on vacation this week... after that, I'm right there with you! I have a few extra expenses for September and we'll have less income for the month. So I'll be here a lot also. I'm hoping that after October 1 I can really start chipping away at the debt again.

    When you fall off the wagon you just gotta jump back on and start tackling the debt again

    And we all fall off from time to time!

    Jumping back on the wagon is a great thing! I've had to do it alot before, while my summer has been super frugal, I have done some yard sale shopping.

    Everyone slips up once in a while - what matters is what you do after you acknowledge the slip. You are on the right track. Good Luck, and please do not be too hard on yourself (we have ALL been there!)
