No Spending Day 1 and 2

I thought I would give you a quick update on the No Spending Challenge. It is MUCH easier to go without spending money if I stay home. It is much harder when I am out or working. At work, there is always the temptation to buy a drink or go to lunch mostly due to poor planning.

I have been really busy at the shop the last two weeks which means I am getting home later. Normally I can put lunch off until I get home but I have been getting home later in the afternoon. This means that I need to plan ahead and take my lunch with me as well as taking water to drink or go hungry until almost dinner time.

Tomorrow’s goal is to plan ahead and take food with me to work.

Help keep me awake to write by buying me a cup of coffee! .

It is even easier to not spend money when you run out of cash before your next paycheck is deposited ;^)

But I find that only using hard cash to pay for stuff makes me much more aware of what I am spending. Looking at my bank account statement at the end of the month leaves me wondering what all those debit card transactions were…

Eric, yes, I have been living that kind of forced no spend for awhile. This time I am doing it by choice and journaling it so that I can see where my worst temptations are. So far, they have been food related… driving by fast food on your way to the bank when you have already missed lunch. NOT stopping by the convenience store for a soda on my way to work. Planning compensated for it though.
