Happy Monday Everyone!
I can honestly say that when I started this financial fast I never expected that so many ladies would join in with me. I am so inspired by all of you ladies. And just reading your emails, receiving telephone calls and talking to you at church and other places have been just awesome.
The changes that are taking place in our lives are great. I am now so conscious of the way I spend my money. I know that God requires me to be a better steward over the money in which he has given me. The changes that have taken place, I pray would continue with me and that when the calendar hits March 1, 2010 @ 12AM, I don't return to my old ways. I want change that last.
So here we are at week #3. This is going to be a tough week for most of us. The newest is wearing off and reality is setting in. It is known that it takes 21 days to form a habit. Therefore, this is our week to make change that last and to make spending with a conscious a way of life for us.
If you have fallen off the train, get up, dust yourself off and let's start again. You can do this!
Our challenge for this week is to review all of your expenses and see if there is a way to save more money. Such as Direct TV, (too many channels), Cell phone plan (too many minutes), insurance, home telephone and any other ways that you can save.
I recently added my 17 year old son on my car insurance(Yikes). I asked the representative if she was crazy, when she told me the price. I was elgible for a few discounts, but the price was still pretty high. I called back and spoke to another rep. and she was able to give me an additional discount of $400.00 off my premium. It was an occupation discount(who knew??). Just take a few minutes, call and ask if there are any additional ways to save.
Remember this is your money, so shop around for better deals. Especially if your contract is over.
Have A Great Week!
