Another abstainer here - LOL - in lots of things! I can't eat just one chip or one cookie, so for me it's best to not have any. Same with spending - I can't spend just $10 on fun stuff, so I save up until I can spend more.
As a single mom I have total control, which is great or not so great sometimes. Right now with Cheyanne heading into her Junior year of high school she is getting more expensive so the budget is getting tighter (driver's ed, more $$ for car insurance once she gets her license this summer, college visits, then college application fees, then graduation fees, then college!
) Thankfully she'll be working during the summer so she can start saving but there's definitely not much room in the budget right now for scrapbooking
I want to get some photo books printed too, but they're going to have to wait a while.
