Making a bling resolution...

[Amys Bling]

I recently sold all my scrap gold, too! Plus I went on a big eBay-fest and sold everything I don't wear regularly, and I ended up with a trifling sum Paired with the fact that I stopped colouring my hair and just get a trim every 6 weeks or so (man that was a money spinner!) only buying clothes when I really need them, and packing lunch and dinner for DH and myself every work day, I ended up with a delicious little bling fund that I now need to rebuild. I've been so naughty with bling this year! Yet the wishlist continues to grow, but I'm slowly working my way through it

If you get the money from cutting back somewhere then being Naughty is good thing! Very rewarding!

Being naughty never felt so good.

I did this!

For 6 months I didn't buy any new clothes that I didn't desperately need, packed my own lunches and only ate one meal out a week, saved my Christmas bonus money and as much as my personal savings/spending money as possible.......

And I've just blown the lot on 0.82ctw and 0.25ctw martini studs! And after FI's birthday I will save just a little more for some 0.10ctw teeny studs for my last ear piercings, then it's back to saving again - this time for wedding attire

I think this can definitely work. The years that I informally had a 1K a year jewelry budget, I was definitely aware of trying not to spend more in other areas, keep regular expenses low so we didn't notice it when I did my jewelry purchase. We had a few crazy years of expenses and so don't have that budget anymore, and I do feel like I am more loosy goosy with my money.

Whatever works!

Great idea, Amy! Eat better and get bling money. It's a win win situation.

Amen, sistas!

I just thought of another way to get some bling money- my cash back checks from the credit card company. Instead of points I get the 3% cash back on my purchases and instead of cashing these checks, slipping the money in my wallet and then using it on random useless purchases throughout the month- this is instant bling money.
