Solo was much, much less action, but here we are looking at quality, not quantity. Well, except amount/dollars is also quantity, just in fewer transactions? That said, most of this isn’t anything I regret and on the contrary, stuff I wanted.

I am not sure I’m ready to embrace the full “capsule wardrobe” idea, but wow I sure wish I could. That said, I am migrating to more classic, well-made items as I get older so not above upgrading stuff and investing more. The exception is my SIL, who is a Rep for a MLM company… so, basically, she hassles her friends and family to buy stuff. It’s fairly well-made fitness gear, and it’s useful to me, but I still hate that sometimes I buy stuff just to appease her. I need to be better about that this year, for real.

We’re looking at $1,368.24 for the week, but there was some “treat yo self” going on to celebrate my upcoming bonus and salary raise. Most of which will go to investments, less of course the aforementioned hot tub.

Amount	Category	Commentary you didn't ask for
$298.00	Health?	Dispensary restock! Lots of great sales. High & Dry January is going along great.
$115.64	Clothes	Shit I didn't need to appease my SIL. Sigh.
$15.00	Subscription	1 month of Canva to help with photo editing!
$67.81	Accessories	A gym backpack and some running gloves, which I needed.
$500.00	Accessories	A gorgeous dressy bag which I most deffo did NOT need.
$344.29	Clothing	Major winter sweater and wardrobe upgrade. I'm struggling to feel bad about it, because it's amazing quality and a great deal. And not fast fashion!
$27.50	Charity	Abortion access is healthcare - help out our sisters in the red states!
