And with this $35 pair of vegan Saucony shoes, and another $35 pair of Saucony running shoes (not pictured), I officially call Project November-ish to an end. I am apparently not capable of not spending any money.
Sure, I could tell you that I officially ran through the tread on my current running shoes this week and that treadless shoes make for relatively painful workouts. I could explain that $35 for a pair of shoes (on Rue La La right now, check it if you want some shoes) is too good to pass up when I need to buy them anyway. I could even defend the ethics of my choice if necessary.
But I'm not going to. I'm just going to accept that I have to spend money sometimes and try like hell to not buy things I don't need and, when I do buy things, I'll try to make the most ethical choice possible.
[I assure you, I am not ending Project November just so I can buy a new Kinect game. I also will not be buying a heart rate monitor to find out if the Kinect really makes for a good workout. I will, however, be buying some mascara. At his point, I'm just brushing my lashes before court with an empty brush, and I've had it with people telling me I look exhausted. It's not sleep deprivation, people, it's just cosmetics deprivation!]
[Oh...and I may get a blender.]

I consider budgeting to be a lot like dieting. As soon as I tell myself I can't spend money...all I do is spend money.
Whenever I tell myself I can't eat doughnuts, I eat doughnuts like my life were dependent upon it.
I think moderation is key in regard to both. I've been trying to reign in my spending, so in order to do that I give myself an allowance of play money to waste as I see fit. This tends to keep the crazy at bay.
I would have bought them too, they're great shoes!
