After reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad I became obsessed with money. Inspired to become a billionaire I realized that I have to learn a hard lesson first - spending less.
Once my Mom was published in The Motley Fool for an article about my Sister and I. My sister is a saver, an impressive, amazing saver. I, on the other hand, have "champagne taste and caviar dreams" (an excerpt from her article). I will admit, I do love things. My favorite song is still "Part of your World" from The Little Mermaid, and with lyrics like "...wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has everything?!" and "I've got gadgets and gizmo's a plenty..." and we can't forget the best part; "I want moooooore!" It is no wonder I am a spender.
So, I learned from the book that Bob (Robert, can I call you Bob?) created a game to teach people how to exit the rat race. Since I don't like to play other peoples games, I went ahead and created my own. The game is called No Spend July.
It is explained here
My Sister and Boyfriend graciously accepted my challenge, so, starting 7/1/2008 we will start updating a Google doc spreadsheet with our purchases.
How many shoes do you think I can hold back on?
