Again, just thinking aloud.
Stay Within a Hair Budget Challenge
Description:
Initial post: Think through how often you need to purchase whatever you use for your hair. Include ingredients (oils, powders, etc.), disposable processing caps, vitamins, shipping fees, etc. Based on these purchasing needs, ballpark a monthly budget. Have a monthly reward for staying under budget (massage from spouse, favorite meal, "coupon" from real-life accountability partner to purchase "dream" product, etc.). Determine what your emergency pass is (1 product, an amount such as $15, etc). You get one pass per month.
Monthly end-of-the-month-posts: Post how you did and where you're at.
Example format for the monthly post
- Did you stay within your budget these month? (yes or no):
- Did you use your monthly pass? (passes don't factor into the calculation of amount spent):
- By how much are you over or under budget YEAR-TO-DATE?: -$5.27 means that accounting for the year so far, you have spent $5.27 less than your monthly budget permits and can use it in the future . . . But +$3.21 would mean you spent $3.21 more than you budgeted, and you need to try to amend it the next month (i.e. spend at least $3.21 under budget).
It was hard coming up with stuff after the 2nd quarter maybe. But my hair did improve from that thread.
