I’ve done “no spend” weeks before and there is a sense of accomplishment and groundedness from it. So a whole month must be even better. I’m going to try it. Thanks!

I love this joyful, mindful approach to saving! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I’ve never tried a no spend month but I think this might be what I need. I tend to spend a little too much and on items that I don’t really need but want. If I can learn to curb my spending I’d be doing so much better.

I like this idea a lot. I am definitely at the stage where I am trying to cut down on costs as much as possible. Over the past couple of months, I HAVE cut down on my spending, but implementing a no spend month here and there might really discipline a lot.

I really like this idea, Stacey. Sort of like a juice fast, but for spending. It could be a good way for me to step back, become more mindful, and “cleanse” myself of spending habits that have become automatic. I think I take for certain expenses too much for granted. Just sorting my expenses into “wants” vs “needs” could be real eye opener!

That is a good idea in concept to me but you know I spend wisely all the time (at least I think I do.) With a large family like mine it would be impossible to predict what we are doing at any given time and to say we are never going to eat out or something like that is not reasonable and just would set me up for failure. I may be on the road, we all may be and then there it is out the window. I am not a person that needs that type of restriction and find it better to try and do the best with our money all the time but not set rigid boundaries that are bound to be crossed.
