My new year’s resolution is to stop buying shit; what’s yours?

I originally had zeroed in on clothing, but really, I’d like to extend it across all channels.

Exceptions include food/eating out (duh), music (also duh), books (although I probably own at least six months’ worth of books I haven’t read yet) and experiences.

But for clothes, the only exceptions are needed items I don’t already own (like a bridesmaid dress for one of the possibly several weddings I’ll be in next year) or replacements for necessary items (like gloves, or undergarments).

I think it’ll be harder than it sounds — think how often you buy even just little things — but when it comes right down to it, I don’t need MORE stuff. And anything that comes along that I think I DO need can likely be made, borrowed or simply done without. All that money I would have spent on gratuitous or frivolous items will (ideally) go instead toward my loans.

I’ll let you all know how it goes … I figure if I post every indiscretion I make here, the shame will help me stick to my guns. :)

What are your guys’ resolutions?
