It’s a money detox.
Spend only on essentials (groceries, bills, transport).
🚫 No shopping. No takeout. No impulse buys.
⏳ Duration: 1 week, 30 days, or even a full month!
Ask yourself:
➡ What am I saving for?
➡ Emergency fund? Travel? Debt?
🎯 A clear goal = stronger motivation
✔ Rent, food, medicine = YES
✖ Coffee runs, new shoes, apps = NO
✨ Bonus: Builds money awareness!
Instead of shopping or eating out:
🎥 Movie night at home
🚶♀️ Nature walks
📚 Read that book you've been ignoring
👩🍳 Cook creative meals with pantry leftovers
✅ Use a printable tracker
🎨 Color in no-spend days
💪 Reward yourself with non-spending treats (like a spa night)
Ask:
🔹 What triggered spending temptations?
🔹 What did I learn about my habits?
🔹 What felt surprisingly easy?
