February
is usually our no spend month. You may
think I chose February because it is the shortest month of the year but that really
isn’t the reason, just a bonus. I chose
February because that is the month when our highest heating bill of the year arrives. I usually get it the end of January and it is
due in February around the 10th.
A No
Spend Month for us is to cut out all unnecessary spending to help us tighten
our belts after paying the high heat bill.
So
there will be NO:
·
Eating
out
·
Trips
to the $ Store
·
Trips
to the thrift stores
·
Online
ordering
·
Shopping
of any kind
·
Trips
to the gas station (hopefully)
What I
will spend money on in February is food for us and for our animals. That one I can’t exclude, obviously, but I
will stay within budget.
I have
Bunco in February and so in order not to cheat I will be using my winnings in
December to pay my $5. No new money
spent. If I canceled my appearance at
Bunco for this No Spend challenge I would get seriously throttled.
Do you
or have you ever declared a No Spend Month?
Would you consider it? Want to
join me?
