Sounds like a plan to me. This reminds me of some advice that was given to me several years ago, that is, if you want to make something a habit, you must do it for at least 21 days in a row. The example they gave was flossing your teeth daily. Make yourself a checklist or calendar and post it in a conspicuous spot like next to the bathroom mirror. For every day that you complete the task, make a check mark or mark an "x" through the day. By the time three weeks are up, it should become automatic. You could use the same technique for not spending. Love your blog! I love it! Sounds like a plan to me.
