Does this count as spending?

June 15th, 2010 at 05:12 pm

I think I've miserably failed the Frugal Fast. When I finished work yesterday I had a missed call from DH. He asked me to pick up some veg for MIL. Today I had to pick up dog food for a neighbour. I got the money back from MIL yesterday, just waiting on getting the money back for today's purchase.

Lunch challenge going well. I've packed 100% all this week.

    I would say yes, but since you are doing it as a favor for others I would say no. Sometimes there is a gray area. You can look at it two ways. What way is most comfortable for you?

    I'm not too sure, if I had the money back for today's purchase then I would say that I hadn't failed but I haven't got it back yet.

    Is it possible that you are being to hard on yourself. Since the spending didn't result from a desire of yours I would say a possible no or just start over at zero days and proceed from there. If you don't get your money back I wouldn't fulfill that persons request in the future. What ever you do is right because sooner or later you will accomplish your goal as long as you work on it. Believe me it takes time and a continued effort of change habits. I know from experience. I'm getting off the podium best of luck to you.

    I think it only counts as spending when you go into red. Right now you have purchased dog food- but if you get the money back then you are back at ground zero and back to "having not spent the money"

    I don't think it should count at all. I paid my estimated income tax yesterday, but I didn't count that. It is a required payment , just like a house payment.
