hahaha, amazing…meron palang ganito “NO Spending Day”. But what about I scheduled my No spending day then I unexpectedly earn that day also, and then Spent the Money I earn that day, Do you think it is still considered a “No Spending Day:?

I live by “no spending days.” I fill my tank up once every 2 weeks. I will be invesing in a bike soon so that will probably decrease to once a month. If I expect my day to be long, I pack snacks, meals and a water bottle. I use my library card profusely. A friend does my hair in exchange for me editing a book she’s written (yeah, I use the barter system). I do my own manicures and pedicures. My sister arches my eyebrows. I have not bought any clothes or shoes since 2009. I use to get free stuff (i.e beverages, sandwiches, snacks)from a local gas station for answering on-line surveys. I challenge myself daily not to spend money but it’s not so much of a challenge when you don’t have a regular paycheck. It’s a MUST in order to survive. I pray when I start racking in the big bucks that I maintain my frugile lifestyle. My friends tell me I’ve surpassed frugile and is just plain old CHEAP!! LOL!!!!

It’s a good idea to do that. I’m big on saving, but also earning more. You know, there is a limit to how much you can save if you are not a high wage earner. You need an extra business to work or a second job for more income as well. That helps a lot.

I’ve done this NO SPENDING DAY, all i do is bring my lunch at work and bring a glass so I can fill it in the water fountain instead of buying a bottle water for a buck and then eat in my office surfing online during break time. the day went by very fast then i just drive home and do not stop by on groceries store.I used to stop by and spent alot then I realized all i work for the day was gone so i quit doing that habit. so far no spending day is a great idea.

[...] For example, I allow myself to guiltlessly splurge P2,000 on anything I want whenever I am able to increase my savings by P10,000. Other times, I reward myself with a fancy dinner in a restaurant after every three No Spending Days. [...]
