Just discovered your site. Loved the post! I especially like your suggestion to spend with intent. I am learning to do more intentional spending and less frivolous spending.

Thanks,
Laura Beth

That is a good point. I think Leo of Zen Habits has the same philosophy.

He believes it is much easier to form a new habit, then changing one. So in this example, it is easier to work on saving, then to stop spending.

You have to go into your Router and create a web filter. All routers are different as far as the specific set-up, but here is a general article that might be a good place to start:

Near the bottom it talks about website blocking and such. Not all routers have this ability, but those that were made in recent times do.

Personally, I like to start new, supportive habits instead of trying to remove bad habits. So, instead of focusing on spending less, I focus on saving more. This mindset, in addition to planning expenses on a budget, have been the key to my success.

(I could use help with my bedtime routine too!)
