Budget
Last month I spent the lion's share of my monthly budget on gear (including a new bike). This is a problem. I have decided that it's time I sat down and really hammered out a strict budget and kept myself to it.
Things I will be changing:
* Impulse purchases—Gear purchases will be planned out, and saved up for
* Eating out—I buy lunch every day at work, I should be making lunch at home and bringing it in.
* I'll be keeping copious records of my spending habits for at least one month. This is starting officially on the 1st of July, and is going to suck. A lot. But, it'll be good for me.
In direct correlation to this I will be keeping track of my eating habits, and trying to eat more healthy. Because I eat out so much I seldom have anything at home to eat, so when I do eat at home it sucks. And, eating out isn't particularly good for you. So, yeah, won't that be fun?
Budgeting, both in money and in food. Next thing you know I'll be budgeting my time spent on hobbies.
Nahhh...

The 'bringing lunch from home' one can be hard at first, but after a while it's still hard.
Seriously though, eating in gives you a lot more time to sit in the bathroom, enjoy some silence, and play something distracting on your phone.
