Do you know how much money is flowing in and out of your bank accounts? Pack snacks, drinks, coffee, books, etc to take with you to hopefully prevent unexpected purchases. Borrow movies from the library. This is to keep out any trolls and help to keep the group a safe and encouraging place.). 2 – Track your cashflow.

Look up the last three months receipts, ATM receipts, and bank records. Going to the movies, having drinks with friends, or going to paid sporting events can be expensive. Rent books, books on tape, movies, and read magazines at the library. Order smaller coffee drinks or plain coffee instead of flavored tea or coffee.

Doing a no-spend challenge for a month is a great way to recover from higher spending months like December when our bank accounts take a hit due to Christmas. We won’t be eating out AT ALL but I do have a couple of free drink rewards from Starbucks that I plan to use strategically. This way the food doesn’t “feel” like leftovers!
