Today, when reading the introduction to the 7-day spending challenge on Bankrate.com, I began to think I was reading a story written about me…

“I was trying to go from Monday to Monday,” says Vitale. “I carried a little notebook and would write it down if I stopped for coffee or went to the drugstore. Wednesday night I went to buy gas and I didn’t have enough cash. I had to resort to my credit card to get me through the rest of the week. I was shocked and a little disappointed.”

So, I’m going to subject myself to the 7-day challenge and document it on COD (that’s Climbing Out of Debt by the way).
