I'm really trying to build up my savings this year. The Low Buy year will hopefully help with that, once I finally get my shit together! I still can't believe how much extra I spent in January. I've been using Monzo savings pots for a while now but after getting multiple TikToks on my FYP about them, I've decided to make some changes.
It's finally February! January lasted forever and I'm so glad it's done, it wasn't a great month.
It's pay day! I'm really hoping to spend significantly less this month than I did in January. Obviously the ideal would be £0 spent but there's a few things I know I really need to buy this month. I'm going to budget myself £150. Again, not including food, gifts, or travel to work. Although I should only have to get a taxi once this month.
Well, month one of twelve didn't exactly go to plan. I spent a shocking amount of money and I'm not happy with myself at all.
So...I may have made a cheeky Shein order. I know, I know, don't judge me. However, I had previously been looking on Amazon and New Look so technically I have saved money here, and got more useful items! Get ready for the girl math at the end!
After trying and -mostly- failing my 30 by 30 bucket list, I have decided to do it a little bit differently this time. After looking at these 30 goals I could have done over the last four years (some very realistically, some not so much) has definitely made me re-evaluate what is important to me and what isn't.
During December I made a huge effort to get rid of as much as possible! The thought of adding all the Christmas presents to the enormous amount of stuff we already own was stressing me out, so it was time to be brutal and get rid.
