I have officially succeeded in my third week. With help from my darling friend X (not wanting to be known by anything but X) I have officially paid off my entire Visa bill. Along with this I have also paid off all but $150.00 that I have owed my parents and any monthly bills: phone, gym etc.
Along side all this success was my lack of spending this week; nothing but groceries and a Valentines gift for Matthew. I was VERY tempted to purchase a whole new outfit for an event that I am attending on the 20th, aside from the fact that I already have an outfit, (and purchased new shoes for that outfit if you look back to week 1) and I resisted! Hardly, but I did with the help of Lauren and Matthew.
I have come to the conclusion that I have to get another job away from the mall. It is very hard for me to be there four times a week and not spend a dime; I have done it but it was very challenging. Overall I am ecstatic with my progress this week and can't wait to see what happens next week.

Amanda, well done! It seems that this "friend X" of yours is quite the helpful elf. Hahah! Glad to hear that you paid off some debt. Isn't it a wonderful feeling? I just recently got my income tax refund, and successfully spent cloe to $600 of it. I had initially planned on putting it towards my Visa, but getting fabulous outfits made me feel much more better. It is a challenge, but I find that the best way to save, is to simply NOT go to the mall. And yes, it is especially hard when you WORK at a mall, but just try to not make time for "looking" around. Now, I try to only go when I can "afford" it.
