    Love this idea! We do no-spend as "no *extra* spend" instead of just absolutely no spend, period. We use what's in our cash envelopes and only get necessities rather than splurges! So for example if we're grocery shopping, we stick to the list of what food the house NEEDS and we just don't buy any goodies or "nice to have"s that aren't "must have"s.

    D, I am right there with you. I do the exact same thing at the grocery. And at Dollar Tree I love the seasonal decorations. They are cheap but I go overboard. How many cute little gnomes or heart wreaths do I need? Lol. I will definitely try this for cutting back. I fail at no spend so this gives me a reward to work toward each week. 💰

    I have an idea to tweak this idea. I'm on a fixed income,and get SSI payments monthly. Instead of an envelope for each day of the week,an envelope for each month of the year... January, February,etc. Plus the "reward" envelope. Then do the "no spend" idea for each month as you mentioned.

    Great idea Denisse!! Breaking down our spending per day can really pinpoint where the money goes. Since I'm not shopping for makeup and skin care (as was my habit / hobby for the last 7 years) my spending naturally has nearly stopped. I do buy things for my channel and budgeting, but that's really it as far as anything extra. The rest are pure necessities and it has been a great change for me. Thank you for your innovation and inspiration! Happy Fridayyyy!! 🌹🌹🤑🤑

    • @DvsDebt
      @DvsDebt  Рік тому +1

      Thank you! 😍 I’m starting to get into skin care (too little too late at this point, to be honest, because now I’m scrambling to try to repair sun damage) so I’m hoping the reward money will motivate me to spend less elsewhere so I can have reward money to spend on things like good quality skin care.

    I agree with you. I'm the same with no-spend days. I do so well for many days, and then my head says "you have been so good. Just reward yourself." Then I go and spend all the money I didn't spend on all those other days 😫😫😫. I think your new system will work better. 💰 💸
