Magnificent May's NSD Challenge!

cathybird

This challenge is about setting yourself a weekly/monthly target of how many No Spend Days you would like to achieve during May. 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 really probably simpler to start with a goal of 10 or (at most) 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, or at least every two or three days ... 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.

Thanks @cathybird for running this again this month. Now that things are starting to open up again, I'm going to treat this as a "no frivolous spend day" challenge. I will be excluding spends on petrol and essential grocery shopping, and set a target of 20 NFSDs

Hello, newcomer joining in. Am going all in and will aim for 16 NSD. Every other day will be NSD. Not tomorrow as we have a pub booking. First trip to a pub this year. Hope I don’t get tipsy 🥂🤪

Hi @cathybird, @beanielou pointed me to your excellent challenge. I would love to join in if you will have me 😁
I will aim for 15 NSD’s please. I will exclude fuel, although all being well I shouldn’t need any more for May as I’m almost full! I have no excuse not to reach this target 🤔
