I mean it. I have to stop spending money on everything but essentials. I almost feel as though I have no idea what is actually essential and what I can live without and not undergo some sort of terrible deep sadness because I didn't buy the $4 toothpaste or the extra snacks for the plane or the clearance this-or-that or the "perfect" accessory for the wedding outfit, etc.
I would cut up my credit card if I actually had an emergency savings account worth a damn, but I don't - so I'm afraid to lose that safety blanket. And instead, I abuse it.
If I can get through this trip without any more credit card charges, I will be a.) thoroughly impressed with myself and b.) very happy.
