Living Off the Land

I'm going to try something outrageous.

In an effort to make my last year of this Marian promise the most meaningful, and in an effort to truly sew in preparation to reap, I am going to do the following:

1. I will pray the Rosary DAILY in order to receive strength to resist temptations.

2. I will not eat out.

3. I will not browse or shop online.

4. I will enter no stores except for desperate needs.

My third year begins on June 22, and I want to give a big push in making myself a better person for God. When I tried the above 4 things once before, I was able to save $1,000 in just one month.

So, I shall live off the land I already have for one year. We'll see how long I can last in this apartment before I have to bring in any new supplies.
