My wife has gotten very familiar with the term "spending freeze" while we have been married. It doesn't happen as often now as it used to, but every now and then things get a little crazy. Usually this time of year with birthdays and graduation parties.
I remember the day I decided to do this, some 10 years ago. I went on a "sending freeze"... for a year, I didn't buy a single piece of clothing, shoes, bags (which I didn't need, by the way), jewelry, magazines, trinkets, stuff, and then some; I paid all my revolving debt. Now... I only have a mortgage, which hopefully will be over soon!!! I owe it all to the stackers on YouTube, @bozz!!!

It usually doesn't take too long to get back on track. I always kind of feel like I failed a bit when we need to implement one, but sometimes stuff just snowballs.
Just begin again, @bozz.
