It amazes me how much I end up saving, and how little I learn from that once March 1 hits.

I hate adding another montly bill 3. getting my hair cut (but its my first haircut in long than i care to admit) Not sure if it still counts if I am paying for all that but at least i can try to cut my discretionary spending.

Time to buckle down. Usually February is not a month for spending a lot of money for me because it's cold and all I want to do is stay home, so I know I can do it, but this year has not followed that trend so far.

I had surgery in November, then Christmas shopping, then $1000 bill out of nowhere in January, so I hadn't be able to look at Mint due to the shame. Then I realized that February was a fresh (short) start, and the rest is identical to your story. I actually started this too (but I thought it was a unique idea lol).
