My Challenge of 2013

I like to inflict pain challenge myself. I am slightly weird like that. I enjoy competitions. I like to see how long I will last. Because my last proposed challenge (no blogging, facebook, etsy, etc.) blew up in my face, I searched for a new, fresh idea. As I've stated before, Chris and I are working very hard at using our time in Germany as one to acheive financial independence--no car payments, no student loans, no credit cards, NO DEBT, but a whole lot of moolah in our bank account. We are well on our way. We've paid our last credit card bill and savings is growing. We're tackling our car payment next. He is the master behind this plan with some "logical input" from Muah! He's doing a great job and I am very thankful that he has handled it all. I hate numbers. I hate budgets. I love money. I love to shop! That brings me to my latest plan. I am joining a random blog I stumbled upon--jennyonthespot.com. She and her friend have challenged themselves to not buy clothes or accessories in 2013. Techincally, I've already failed. Loft was having a killer sale earlier this month :) Anyway, I am starting today. No more clothes shopping for Kara. Hopefully I can hold out. I have set my goal for June barring any interruptions. If the stars align and I get pregnant, I may have to adjust my dates. I am not sure what the maternity spring/summer wardrobe looks like anymore. So, say a few prayers. Our bank account and my husband will thank you. I'll keep you posted on my latest wave of craziness.
