Clean out a section of your clothes closet. It's always a great day to make a donation of clothes you never wear.

Have you ever asked yourself, 'Is this (whatever it is) the best use of my time?' This same type of question can be asked when it comes to spending. 'Is this (whatever it is) the best use of my money?'

Jenny's art club had a guest speaker who taught them to make a wire-wrapped pendant. The cost was $50 per person. Jenny paid her money and made the pendant. And then she wondered why. Jenny had plenty of necklaces, nicer than what she made. She felt like her $50 could have been spent much better on something else.

It's so easy to get caught up in unnecessary spending, especially when in a group or on vacation. Everyone else is shopping or ordering expensive meals. It may feel hard not to join in. Have you ever ordered an entree when all you wanted was a small salad?

Some people find that using cash instead of credit cards makes them more aware of their spending. Other people wait a few days or weeks before purchasing something. During this 'waiting time,' they may decide they really don't want/need it after all.

Begin today. When the opportunity for spending comes up, ask yourself if this is the best use for your money. Listen to your instincts. Maybe it IS a good use, like tickets to a musical event you have truly wanted to see or perhaps it's a tool to help you improve yourself or to achieve a goal. But maybe, like Jenny's wire-wrapped pendant, it is not. Ask yourself the question and listen carefully to the answer.
