No Spend Days

by Ashley on January 18, 2010

I know a lot of people do this and I think it’s a cool idea, so I’m going to do it too.  I already go at least a couple days each week without spending money.  I have very little time between Sunday and Thursday morning to buy anything.   But, I suspect this is going to be a little more difficult than I’m expecting.  No spending means not even $.80 at the vending machine!

To get into the specifics, I’m going to track the days I spend nothing, though right now I have no goal in mind except do it as many days as possible. Maybe I will make a goal at the beginning of each month, but for now I’m going to try to just get in the habit.   I won’t count paying bills like I do each pay day or paying for laundry (the last thing I need is something to deter me from doing laundry!).

Challenge on!

What a great idea! I’m going to do this too. So far today is one for me :)

I notice when I go more than one day without spending any money — and I’ve noticed that this hasn’t happened in a long time. I’m up for the challenge too!

I’ve tried to do this, but I found that I would spend in “preparation” for my no spending days. Like, oh no, must get more gas, I can’t buy it tomorrow….It’s a cool idea, but did NOT work for me!
