This challenge is about setting yourself a weekly / monthly target of how many No Spend Days you would like to try and achieve during the month of July.
Keep us updated with your progress and hope you all enjoy the challange.

To join,
just post your personal target and you are on your way.

Tips for the challenge;
1. Decide on a clear goal weekly or monthly of how many No Spend days you'd like to try and achieve

2. Create a list of allowances...What counts as a spend and what doesn't. Keep the list on you so you don't fall of the wagon or make exceptions for everything

3. Keep a tally of how many NSDs you get. See if you can beat your previous amount!

We CAN do it.
Remember every little helps :money::money::money:

    Hello! I do this anyway so would like to join in with a like minded bunch!


    I just about squeezed in 15 NSDs in August and am aiming for the same - on 2/15 so far and should be on for number 3 today. I'm a sole trader so don't count business costs in this.
    2019 Aim: Save £10,000
    Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now
