    Not today, there was a few items I needed with regards groceries etc - but I could have done without some of the purchases. September I will try harder, however I am being kind to myself for my new job starting tomorrowXX
    Missions for the rest of the year:-

    1) Build up an emergency fund (EF) 
    2) Improve spending habits.
    3) Create a budget that is compatible to me.
    4) Buy healthier snacks to avoid junk food splurges.
