This series of videos are so great! My husband and I were just pre-approved for our first home and we want to be as smart as we can with our money. You're so organized and motivating. Thank you!!❤❤
This month was my first attempt at no spend. My focus was after pay, shop pay and klarna, which are usually mostly impulse buys. Those small payments add up very quickly to big ones!!! This video is so helpful! A plan and rules are so needed to be successful with this no spend month. Can’t wait for the upcoming videos!
Great video! I really needed this video. I just recently started spending more in the last 6 months. I will be adding No Spend to my Budgeting Plan. My Birthday is also in July, so I will try this in August. No big events during August for me. Thank you! ❤
New subbie. Funny how I haven't hear of you before and your video came up after another video but I find this such an amazing surprise! Thanks for such a great video and I look forward to following your journey!
I am in the midst of my 1st no spend month. I am tracking all my spending and restricted spending on door dash, take out and useless spending. So pretty much the variable expenses. I was spending 300 a month easily on purchases that I didn’t really need..
Im going to try no spend again...I want a year...but let me try the month of January...but I do need to buy my Alvin Ailey tickets in January...well my real focus is no spend on clothing...I need to spend more on memories...wear these clothes I already own to events
So frustrated.. single mom barely bringing in $800 and I feel like I only spend money on necessities really need to cut back where I can and focus on not freezing up so I can do better!!
Hello. Question? I was wondering what is the purpose of the categories? It is confusing to me when I list them on the monthly expenses but listed on paycheck budget they are either bills, variables or sinking funds? It is confusing me? Am I making too much out of it?
So my categories are usually how I divide up my variable spending. They help me to know how much I am spending based on the income that I have and help me to see if I am spending too much in a particular category.
I tried no spending on various things, and I did fall into the binge cycle afterwards. So now I am more focused on mindfulness with my purchases. When and how do I actually see myself using and storing the items in the future I want to purchase in the moment? I have greatly reduced spending on things for hobbies, and I am more in a slow paced spending overall than an extreme either way anymore. The binges happen still, but instead of an adult style rollercoaster, 🎢, I’m more likely going on a kiddie mode rollercoaster 🎢 instead. 😊

I started with no spend days. Then, I worked my way up to a no spend month. I have also done a low-spend year. All are very beneficial to try.
❤ I've completed a no spend challenge before and it was very fun!

Me too! Good luck!
No Spend: 1 week per month, sometimes 2 weeks. In the past, also had no spend once per quarter

Look for at home remote employment...thrift when you need clothing...put your daily change in a jar...it really adds up

Are all these pages included in the Budget Planner you have linked?

Definitely going to mute my Telegram shopping follows for No Spend. Not that I buy a lot, but I don't need the temptation.
I have tried this many times and there is always something going on and it goes out the window. 😢
During the lockdown I was so good but your girl fell off once things opened up again.
Always no spending just pay bills😂😂
