My no spend month is almost over as the month of March draws to a close. Anyone want to do a no spend month in April? Pay your bills and only spend on necessities. At the end of the month we can see if you saved some cash. I'll cheer you on.
I had a no spend day yesterday. I noticed that we are very low on butter and I have no soda in the house. I might cave and go buy those things. Otherwise things are looking very good to close the month with at least $200 in saved cash.
I realized that $200 divided by 31 days is $6.45 per day saved. One could simply save $6.45 per day by transferring it to a savings account and have $200 by the end of the month. And who couldn't use an extra $200?
Who's Up for A No Spend April?

Hummm Maybe If I set a budget for the things I have to get done then only count the amount I go over, would that work?
If that will work I will create a seperate page for the things I need to buy this month along with the budgetted amount to hold me accountable.

That's awesome you saved $200! I couldn't save $200 without some serious deprivation over here, so, eh. I don't want to eat ramen all month to do so.
