to find my purse the odds are that i purchased that item are a whole lot lower for the people that work or go to school or leave the house and they go to work meal prep your lunches and it can be as easy as taking like one serving from dinner the night before putting it in a meal prep container and sticking it in the fridge so in the morning you go yoink into your bag out the door so you have lunch and you don't have to spend i don't even think it's five dollars anymore ten dollars on running to cafe rio for a salad bowl twenty dollars on an uber eats delivery for lunch because we didn't think for three minutes the night before just putting like a little something together to get you through this is kind of an obvious one and i think my friend sarah over at our tribe of many has nailed it and that's to stop shopping as often and i think that's easier for the people that don't like to shop i don't think she really enjoys it whereas i had dreams as a child of living in a grocery store because i wanted to eat all of the things but it's brilliant the fact that she shops once a month for groceries for her family because it limits her going out she doesn't spend extra the fewer times you go to the store the less money you spend on buying stuff it's brilliant i'm telling you einstein would be shocked right now and speaking of not shopping is often have you done a spend week lately have you done a no spend weekend lately usually on the weekend you know you're like oh let's go to dinner let's take the kids to the movies let's go do this one thing and i am guilty of that myself this just this last weekend i took my kids to see sing too we got popcorn at the theater my boys did open gym at the gymnastic gym on saturday and i bought a birthday cake for my son's birthday yes those are all fun and good but we can be more creative by doing like what can we do this weekend that doesn't actually cost anything the only problem with the no spend week is you do it once in an entire year and it doesn't really benefit you that much what if you implemented it once a quarter you've just done like basically a no spend month within an entire year it's a nice way to get your feet wet i think let me ask you a personal question what are your money goals i recommend either writing them down and putting them somewhere where you'll see them every single day i tend to tape them like right next to my bathroom mirrors i'm there every single day multiple times a day because i brush my teeth more than once a day and i'm looking at the list maybe post a picture of whatever it is that you want is it a car is it a birkin bag diamond earrings is it a new living room set is it a new computer i don't know whatever it is that you want and that you're working towards put a picture or write it down in a place where you will see it all the time so you can have a constant visual reminder of what it is that you're working for sometimes when we save money and scrimp for the sake of saving money and scrimping with no end goal it's
