Good afternoon everyone
. Welcome to another moozies challenege. This challenge is open to anybody, no matter what financial place they are in.
Thjis challenge basically runs along side the daily spends thread where you post what you have spent daily. However you dont have to be in both to be involved in one. On this thread please post an amount of money you wish to stay below within the week (sunday ~ friday). This can be pennies or thousands it depends on the individual. Then next Saturday report back and pledge for the following week
This is a little bit of fun but for many it highlights the fact that maybe that magazine/chocolate bar isnt needed. Hopefully your spending habits can be changed forever.

Have funa and good luckOriginally Posted by Moozie
Good afternoon lovely DFWs Now for anyone looking in, please feel free to join - the more the merrier! Basically, decide on the amount you want to spend up to from Sunday until the end of the working day on Friday then pledge it here and off we go! The challenge is about incidental spending and not for stuff that should be budgeted elsewhere such as bills, groceries, debt repayment etc but you decide what to include at the end - this is about changing your habits and improving your recording of your spends more than anything else. Have a great week everyone and keep it low!!! Moozie x

I think I only spent 40p on a scone last week out of the £5 pledged. This week though I'm going for £0 due to the extortionate cost of adding my son to my motor insurance.Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts - DFW Nerd 323
