Outstanding October's NSD Challenge! 29 September 2020 at 7:59PM in Debt-free wannabe challenges 242 replies 906 views

This challenge is about setting yourself a weekly/monthly target of how many No Spend Days you would like to achieve during October. 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. If you've never done the challenge before, it's probably better to start with a goal of 10 or 15.

2. It is fine to exclude necessary expenses eg petrol, groceries, pet food, etc, when it comes to deciding what is and isn't an NSD.

3. It does help to post every time you notch up an NSD ... it's easy to lose track! If you want to keep track of your NSDs in your MSE signature, that can be really motivating too

4. It also helps to bookmark the thread, it's much easier to find

5. NSDs are trickier than they seem and easily derailed. It makes the challenge much easier if you notch up as many as you can in the first half of the month.

Yay it's October! It's not going to be a cheap month for me though alas, in fact I've been emailed a repair bill this morning so can't kick off with an NSD on the first of the month as I usually do. On the good side if it wasn't for MSE I would never have learned how to save money and wouldn't have the money to pay for it but I do! My first NSD will be tomorrow.
