Getting off on the right foot!! Join in if you want to try to cut down on your spending by choosing to have certain days of the month be spendless days.

Track how you want, count budget categories how you want. Basically, just join in with whatever modifications you want.

Let's start the year off right!!
 
I'm going BIG this month with a goal of 20 No Buy Days.

1/20 No Buy Days
 
Ok, seriously getting on board this time! I said I was doing December and failed spectacularly, but I'm in this month!
 
I'll try, I did more than my goal last month! I start a new job this month though so I don't see myself being too successful but we will give it a shot!

1- No buy
2 - Buy (start new job Monday and literally every work shirt I ordered got delayed in shipping... needed to go buy two to get by!)

As of the 10th, this is going poorly...

Goal: 1/15 days

I'm in for 15 days this month. I'm leaving later this week to go to Orlando!! for a few days, so I know I'll be spending money those days.

The sad thing is I'm there to visit family so I'll only get to visit the Happiest Place on Earth for one day, if at all. :sad:


January
1-ordered dinner (which turned out to be terrible so I regret spending the money)
2-bought groceries on my way home from the gym
3-No Buy #1

1/15 Days, not exactly off to a solid start
 
I'm in for 20 days as well.

1 - no buy
2 - no buy
3 - buy (Costco - renewed my membership and then shopped, but I stayed to my list)
