In April I bought a Kindle. I was unsure at first, but then dived right in. I was a bit worried about how much I was actually spending, and the download accounts on amazon are not easy to read, so last weekend I bit the bullet, pulled out every email that Amazon had sent me and started an excel chart.
In 6 short months I had spent close to my entire annual budget on books. I felt a bit sick. But knowledge is power. I did some math and decided, right, from now on, it's a maximum of $X p/w on books, no more, no excuses. And I immediately felt better. I had a clear boundary, I felt in control and I know me, I won't break it.
Now if only I could do that with food!
