I'm glad I am on your mailing list so I may hear from you albeit via public posts.
I too will be curbing spending (well, I need to). Actually, my salary demands it; LOL. I can safely say I am set for 2023 planner and planner supply-wise. My mind is looking ahead to next year. The decision has been made it will HAVE to be a one planner year. I have all these planners and most I am not even using (only so many hours in the day).
I have two planners from you, one I had purchased with Catherine's pre-buy; oy vey. Then, late last year I got into standard sized. So, my ED is a Baum-Kuchen standard - used for planning mostly, a Stalogy cut down (again, purchased from you, you enabler) - my keto/health journal, A B6 from Sterling (that's the one I pre-purchased), using it as a journal vs. planner, and others.
I’ve heard from several of my friends that they went into 2024 with a plan (and stash) of planners...and then learned quickly they didn’t need all of them! 😂 So you are not alone! I recommend destashing (reselling) them if you can. I even sold a half used Hobo Cousin last year at half price. Sometimes people just want to try out a new size or a new planner and are willing to purchase them used.
I love your approach of low spend vs no spend. This year I only bought one Hobonichi planner, and no cover (I chose one with a hardcover with a pretty design). I also ordered from jetpens instead of in Japan and saved some costs there as well. So far it's working great for me. I think I found planner peace! What I could definitely go low spend on is craft beer. I spend an enormous amount on quality beers and I could probably go with weekend only and save a few hundred bucks per month. Thanks for the food for thought!
Oh! Definitely! I drink fine Scotch and fancy beer lol, I have been told I have expensive tastes... It's a nice conversation starter with enthusiasts but it does come at a price!
Hi Opal,
It's your girl, Aminah.

Appreciate you following me here. I miss you! 🙂

But, er ah I ain't getting rid of NONE of my 2023s. Ha ha ha.

LOL! I’m glad that you found planner peace...and I love that you’re honest with yourself. Sounds like I dodged a bullet by not liking beer! 🙂
