Tips for Successfully Completing a No Shop Month

Y’all — we made it! January felt approximately 378494012 days long, but we finally are at the end of January.  Earlier this week, I talked about my 2020 word of the year and some financial goals I have for the year.  One of the things I tend to do each January is a no shop month.  It helps me rebuild savings/pay extra on my credit card after extra holiday spending as well as get back in the habit of saving.

Happy Monday! I hope you had a super relaxing weekend; it seemed like I was still recovering from the long weekend.  Quite honestly, it was so nice to just relax and not do a whole lot.  I did make it out Sunday morning to run some errands and threw on this pineapple cold shoulder shirt.
