I think I know what you mean... You maybe mean some people who have this problem might be good or a lot better off if they made some no spending days maybe, if anything, just to get them thinking more about their own spending maybe, or what's essential and non-essential to them, or a the difference between a necessary need and a want maybe, etc...

And I think I agree that something like that might help them maybe, or be a step in the right direction maybe, etc...

God Bless!

When I was a boy my mom would send me to the corner store with one dollar, and I'd come back with a loaf of bread, a can of spam, a hunk of cheese, a box of cereal, a carton of milk and five candy bars.

You can't do that now.

Too many security cameras.

Have any of you done a no spend day, week month or even year?


I frequently will have several days or even a week where I spend no money. Once bills are paid and essentials are bought I try to spend no additional money. When I started it was not always easy, now I finding pretty easy to do.

I have managed to pay my debts. I have no credit card debt, no student loan debt, no car payment and no house payment. I only have the standard bills such as insurance, utilities, food, etc. This is helping me prepare to eventually move "off grid".

I typically go for several days between spending on non-essentials. Although I'm frugal, I also have hobbies. Most of these hobbies are relatively inexpensive, or involve equipment that I can sell if necessary. For a profit, in some cases. Grocery shopping is monthly, and I rarely eat out. The only debt I have is what's left of my mortgage. While I could pay off the mortgage by tapping into savings and retirement accounts, that wouldn't be ideal in the long run.
