To recap; you have now entered officially into an agreement with yourself (and in in front of the world), that you will spend not one cent on any clothing-related items for this month of SEPTEMBER 2011. This agreemant is valid until
11:59:59 pm September 30, 2011.
Welcome now, to the
NO PURCHASE CLUB for SEPTEMBER 2011.
I wish each and every one of you strength and the discipline to take back yor life, saving those precious dollars and making due with what you already have.
With perserverance, you'll do it!
Please remember to use this thread if you are feeling weak. Let us use this fellowship to help one another stay strong and not spend.
If you fall down and spend, you must report it here. You will still continue the challenge but will suffer some form of punishment.
If you are feeling desperately weak, use this thread and confess the temptation and we'll try to talk you down.
There are many vetrans here who have taken the challenge before so we are in good company.
You can do this. Good luck everyone.
Suggestions For Newcomers:
Do not think you are 'missing out' by not spending. There will be an ocean of clothes, shoes and accessories available later.
Leave the wallet/credit cards at home on your outings.
Carry only $20-$40 cash on you for emergencies (and don't look for emergencies).
Stay away from any/all mens clothing stores altogether.
Stay away from all online sellers websites, keeping temptations completely out of sight.
Re-discover what you already have. Be creative with your existing clothes.
Use this time to sew buttons, iron or mend garments, polish shoes or attend to any other neglected items.
ALTERATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED during this challenge UNLESS it is an Emergency and is within your allowance.
Start a Piggy Bank and use it.
Suggestion: If you see a pair of shoes you want, toss that exact amount of money into your Piggy Bank.
Save a photo of those shoes and make that a new wallpaper on your PC. After a month, see if those shoes still tempt you or not.
Please remember to report truthfully, any and all spending. This will help me create a scorecard later.
To those of you who are not yet members of Styleforum, you are invited to join our community! Sign-up takes only a few minutes.
If you are playing the home game, best of luck to you.
I wish you all strength.....and now, let's see how we do. Good luck everyone.
