How to Stay on Track During a Pandemic

​Y'all this pandemic is still going on. I am amazed by the people who literally out here wilding! ⁠
⁠
I know it seems like the pandemic will never end and that our way of life has forever changed...and well it might! But that doesn't mean that we cannot achieve our goals at the same time!⁠
⁠
✔️ Write a shopping list ⁠
✔️ Clean out your closet⁠
✔️ Give yourself an allowance for spending⁠

Write a Shopping List

I know we've all heard it before "don't go to the grocery store hungry" but it is true. Going to the grocery store hungry or without a list will lead you to end up spending more money than your planned. 

Kitrick and I have picked to have the majority of our groceries delivered via Amazon Fresh. This is a true life saver and allows for us to avoid the grocery store crowds. I wish it had all our groceries but unfortunately not. 

So we try to enter the grocery store with a plan. 

Also, don't forget to set a grocery budget.

Clean out the Closet

Girl! Yes clean out that closet. You will be amazed at all the clothes you currently own that you aren't wearing or even worse can't fit!

I've been there. I've had that conversation with myself about how "I will get back in this dress one day". But the truth is that if you haven't created and committed to a plan then you won't get back into the dress soon. 

Having a wardrobe that you feel great in makes you more confident. You know that no matter what you pull out the closet that you will look great. 

Give Yourself an Allowance for Spending

Yes you want to save money for the unknown during these crazy times and yes you want to pay off debts so that you won't be responsible in case the unknown happens. 

I remember when I started my journey to financial freedom. I created a budget so tight that I struggled to stick to the plan.

I felt trapped. I was responsible for this feeling. 

I do not want you to walk the same path that I did so ensure that you give yourself some wiggle room.
