No Spend November - Day #1

 
Day #1

JW and I have been doing No Spend November since our first year of marriage and each year it gets...nope won't lie, it's hard.

What we can spend money one -

1. Bills

2. Groceries

3. Gas

 

That's it. Say goodbye to your random "I like that shirt, I think I'll buy it", and your let's go out to eat tonight, and Starbucks. Wave goodbye to all of it - for 30 days. YOU CAN DO IT!

 

Our first few years of No Spend November were to help us wrap up our Christmas Gift Savings for our 5,000 person family but this year it is for some extra dough in NYC!

 

We are going to NYC for New Years and we are completely and utterly, out of our minds stoked. We are skipping the gifts this year and saying we love you, but we're going to NYC Baby! (P.S. our family is excited we are going on a vacation they understand the trivia of getting from KC to Dallas, TX, Dallas, TX to Longview, Texas, Longview, TX to Jackson, MS, Jackson, MS, to ElDorado, AR, ElDorado, AR, to Harrison, AR, Harrison, AR, back to KC.) Imagine the movie Four Christmas' on crack and that is JW and My Christmas vacation - except our family isn't crazy, they just are all scattered.

 

Anywho - back to No Spend November. Today is day one, Friday, and tonight we are going to stay home, grill some dinner, watch a movie (we already own) and drink coffee by the fire pit. One thing is for sure, No Spend November helps you enjoy the simple things in life.

 

Enjoy! Will you take the No Spend November Challenge??

 

Bye Y'all!
