Cara Reynolds – SUM180 Community Manager replied to the topic A "No Spend" Month in the forum Grow your savings 8 years, 6 months ago
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!
