I would like to but unfortunately we have to buy some swim suits, a suit case, dress shirt, and dress pants for an upcoming cruise in April. Other than that it will be no-spend

How do y'all make it work with preschoolers? Our "fun" money is 40 every two weeks and I split it with myself and my 4 and 5 year old.

@

if that’s worked into your budget then that does not count towards no spend. No spend is for things that are not budgeted for.

Trying it. but with a twist. We are doing no extra spending, so just the things that were planned beforehand (like our 4TB hard drive that we earmarked for this month).

I find these types of challenges can set folks up for failure. Especially, me who overthinks everything I say and do. Good luck to those it doesn’t affect, like that.

Im going to do a "low" spend march. I have a million birthdays in March and some things that have came up unexpectedly so im ploughing through those. Only just starting out, takes time to organise a budget i guess ♀️
