Well, this No Spend Month is actually happening. TarWalker is partially joining me. She is aiming to save $150, I haven't actually thought of how much I'd like to save. It will be good to see how June turns out.
For this No Spend Month I will:
1)only purchase necessary items
2)withdraw cash for variable expenses which are already budgeted for - once it's gone, it's gone
Variable expenses: petrol (£50), packed lunch (£10) and snacks for room (£10) I've got a stack of envelopes waiting to be used.
Right now I'm thinking that all money saved will go towards savings.
May was a busy month, we had a wedding and a party. I overspent at the party. June will not be the same. However, I did manage to start both my EF and car fund.
I only have one goal for June: complete a No Spend Month.
Countdown to a No Spend Month
