Jubilant June's NSD Challenge!

cathybird · 30 May 2023 at 5:48PM

This challenge is about setting yourself a weekly/monthly target of how many No Spend Days you would like to achieve during June. 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 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. It is also completely fine to exclude automated or recurring payments such as bills, mortgage or direct debits.

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.

Hello all! I used to do this challenge many many years ago but I am in need again, so I'm back! I'll aim for 15 NSDs in June. That's going to be quite a challenge for me but needs must 😎

Hiya. Spending is creeping back in, so can I go for 17 days in June please? Thanks 😊

I'm in for June again, we are away for 11 nights this month, so might be harder to stop spending, even though its self catering. So think I'll just go for 12 this month.
