Hehe. For me, the internet (more specifically, SavingAdvice) has helped keep me out of trouble. Rather than being "out there", where I have a greater chance of spending some money, I am here, talking about not spending it. That and the holiday shopping frenzy is kicking up. For the time being, I gladly play the role of a real life recluse / internet addict.
As for my previous challenge of switching to my new checking, my direct deposit isn't done yet. I talked to a company rep., and she told me that it could be another week or so before the direct deposit switch can be completed!
Also, I am still feeling the sting of having bought my glasses, largely because I don't want to let up on my bill payments.... Instead, I am continuing my pursuit of no-spend days.
In both instances, however, I am in no rush as everything remains steady as she goes.
