Why You Should Try A No Spend Challenge | Clever Girl Finance

[@Ebizzill]

I found that most of my expenses are food related, since I started intermitten fasting, its been really helping reduce my spending.

[@ask_why000]

I'm inspired. Trying a No Spent: 1 Month. July 2023. Prepping now.

[@belleiccm9801]

How was your No Spend Month @ask_why000?

[@karenwilliams3196]

I have started the no spending challenge since January. Spending on only essential items like food. I deleted my card from Amazon to avoid being tempted. This advice was given by another money finance vloggers. Really loving these money saving tips.

Love this video. I decided to get completely debt free in 2023. I was thinking 🤔 how to successfully complete a entire 2023 No Spend Challenge.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

[@andreastiller8621]

Write a budget. It’s super helpful to figure core expenses vs extra stuff.

I have done no spend for most of my working life and I break it every 3rd or 4th month. This has really helped my husband and I have a wedding that we dreamt of debt free, being able to invest and help out when there is great need. We still a long way to attaining our long term financial goals but this lifestyle has contributed so much to the progress we have thus far. It has also helped us to be more content and not take anything we have for granted.

Love love love this! Thanks for sharing!

My family and I are in the middle of a no spend/low spend year almost 5 months going strong.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Nice!!!! Thanks for tuning in!

[@ms.rivera7898]

Going to put myself on one. Back in October/ November, I put myself on a no eating out challenge (I used to spend a lot of money at restaurants). I was very successful with it. My only promise to myself was that I could eat out if someone else paid for it. It almost worked like a manifestation, and I received two free meals during that time. I would like to put myself back on that challenge, and also add another no spend challenge, like for Amazon. I am currently using the cash envelope system, which is forcing me to save much more money. Now, I can see where my money is going each month.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Love that you gained great insights from it! Thanks for stopping by!

[@LifeonGodzTerms]

feeling sad makes me want to spend. thanks for your video btw

[@PrettyReliableTransportation]

Me too! Luckily, I don’t spend every time I’m down but randomly, retail therapy feels good!

[@annissa8959]

You are not alone at all!

[@phobedavis7014]

Since February has 28 days, I plan to spend only 7 out of 28 days. It is called the 21-day spending fast. I can tell you that it requires a lot of planning.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

You can do it!!!

[@owalcon2583]

I’m doing a no spend challenge for the month of February. It’s a real challenge but it’s teaching me financial discipline. Thank you.

I did one in January. Didn't manage a 100% but it was a great first attempt.

[@thankyoudoris]

You've got this!!!

[@zaralight1986]

Same here. Did not buy anything I don't need, but bought myself a b-day present. So that was the exception.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Yes to great first attempts! Love it!

[@JaciraDeMatos]

Hello red lipstick 🤩 On a more serious note, this video came right on time for me as I’m going dry turkey this month and hopefully extending it to the spring 🤩

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Haha love the name dry turkey! 😭😂

[@pinkorganichorse]

Put a green check on a paper calendar every day you spend nothing.

[@magesalmanac6424]

Love this idea!

[@yemi5193]

Thanks for this video. Though I’m 6 months late to the party but I’m starting my no spend challenge from September till end of the year (4 months) first time doing this. Desperate times call for desperate measures 😂 I’ve been wanting to save for buying my house. It’s been 1 step forward 10 steps backward but that stop from 1st of September I will come back here and provide my update.

[@millennialmoneyprogress]

Recently completed one in January and it went well! Going to continue into February. For me it was to not buy unnecessary items like clothing, shoes, random Amazon items. We still ate out (within reason and budget) but I tried to focus on not bringing extra items into my home and I feel like trying to do this for the rest of quarter 1 of 2022!

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Well done! You can do it!!

[@thankyoudoris]

[@Clevergirlfinance]

You can do it!!

[@anaa9042]

very practical advice , thank you 🙏🏽 so excited to start this !

[@suebee1540]

I am doing a no spend May. I am doing it to reset my spending habits, add to my emergency fund and to adjust for a smaller paycheque because I have had no overtime lately. I broke it on the 5th because I had to buy a garden tool for my neighbour to replace the one my grandson broke. I have done many no spend challenges but only managed to go a whole month once. The title of my no spend challenge is: Aggregation of Marginal Gains.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Love this. Well done

[@belleiccm9801]

This is great Clever Girl Finance! Thank you and I am seriously thinking of doing a No Spend Month🌿

[@mopetty4143]

I've just recommitted myself to getting my financial life in order. I am going to do a no spend challenge in April.

[@godschild5189]

I have done a no spend challenge and think it's a great way to save. I will definitely make it a part of my savings plan.

[@andreastiller8621]

I rarely buy something the first time I see it. I usually forget about it. If I’m still interested I wait for it to be on sale. I don’t shop online.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Love this!

[@bertyjohnson5710]

How can a mother of 4 children participate in a no spend challenge?

[@danmeck5978]

Learning the word No. Get them involved too and make them understand that if we all spend less on unnecessary items now, then we can afford the really nice in a few months time. Make it a fun process. Give them each a peice of paper with 30 squares on it. For each day they do ask for bought snacks, toys etc they get to colour in a box. At the end of the month they get to have a treat/item of their choice for under £15 each.

[@JaieKeller]
