The "How Many Days Can You Go Without Spending" Challenge.

Legacy_user

So I saw a challenge on Frugal 2014 and decided my challenge would be to not spend anything this month.

This gave me an excellent idea for a challenge which you will save 1000s in doing. It will be tough but we are all here to support each other. Plus it'll be worth it in the long run.

So the challenge is to see how many days you can go without spending anything. Of course there are some things you can buy but you can't buy things you would class as luxuries.

You come on here to check in and let us know what day you are on every once in a while. Also let us know if you slipped up and on what day so I can update your PB and current efforts.

If you slip up then you start again from day 1 and try to beat your previous best.

Let me know if you want to take part and I'll put your name down and do my best to update how people are doing with your Personal Best and Current effort.



OK so here's mine

Essentials
Rent (includes gas, water, council tax)
Electric
Food (budgeted items only)
Toilet paper, toothpaste and shower gel ONLY.
College Course
Emergency fund (can be used for public transport as usually cycle)

I can't buy anything outside of those. My main expenses are the little things from Amazon and the likes!

Don't think I'd be much good at this as I spend every weekend! Could possibly manage 5 in a row - monday-friday... I am hoping to have a weekend soon when I remain a hermit, not going out at all. If I manage this then 7-in-a-row could be done, which would be a lifetime record!
