No buying challenge

Have you been thinking about joining a buy-nothing challenge? Here are 5 reasons why I never do. Plus a fun solution I like to do instead.

I completed a no buy challenge that ended up lasting nearly 3 years! Yep, you read that right! What started off as a 30 day spending freeze turned into a multi-year spending fast! I really was looking to stop overspending at the time and needed a "no shopping" challenge to do it. Of course, I didn't spend $0 and the name "no buy challenge" can be a bit misleading if you're taking this on for longer periods of time. What I really did was a"low buy challenge" but we'll talk more setting…

The No-Spend Challenge involves committing to a period without non-essential purchases, such as dining out or impulse buys. By practicing mindful consumption and finding alternative ways to meet needs, participants develop better spending habits and save money in the process. #no-spend #challenge #savings #money #budget #planner #money #tips

I did my first No Spend Challenge last year during Lent (which turned into a pandemic and spending MORE than 40 days not really spending a lot of money, mainly out of fear about the unknown) because I have gotten into this “habit” that if I want something, I buy it. No thinking about it, no second guessing myself… I have the money, so why not spend it on things I want?
