I broke a rule
So this week I broke one of my rules. I ended up buying myself some cologne this week which technically fits into personal grooming but I think it's still probably against the rules. On the plus side it will last me the full year so the price per month isn't actually much of an impact on my budget.
So I failed the challenge, what now? Well I keep doing the challenge. I don't think one rule break is good enough for me to give up on the amount of good I've already accomplished from starting the challenge. Given my average monthly spend on books alone even counting this spend I'm still hundreds of dollars ahead.
I sold another barbell and got a bit of extra cash into one of my businesses this week too so net we're actually ahead of where we started so still going strong!
