Minimalistic

After some serious feedback and review of funds going out of my checking account in the last 6 months, I decided to do few changes. One, to reduce eating out and coffee shop trips.. I was really surprised this afternoon it was hard for me to consider going to the starbucks doing a mental calculation I could buy a can of milk for the price of a Short mocha. I also made and packed my lunch for the day. I got into a routine of tee-ing up all my bills and checking my mailbox daily. Glad I made few other changes - got rid of the tv, dvd player, tv stand and my netflix subscription - so no more movie marathons. Better use of time - bought kindle fire, uninstalled facebook app. Need to find more ways to reduce my cost of living and my life more productive. Something divined on me today - I need to spend on big ticket items like camera lens, a laptop etc every once in a while which will make me reduce myself from nickle-and-diming my wallet. And those parking tickets - I am going to be a good citizen just for my wallet's sake.
