Day 1 of me spending nothing and being happy.
💥 THIS IS THE WAY. 💥
I have zero active subscriptions, digital or otherwise going into June. Not eating out at all either. With three freezers full of meat, bread to last the month, and milk restocked ahead of time, the only likely out of pocket expense for me in these 30 days will be fuel. I prepaid any bills for utilities and whatnot, so my transactions for this month should literally be zero.
This will be a fascinating experiment on just what I can in fact live without regardless.
Good for you. I love it. When I was 30, I paid off the line of credit that I carried with me all through my 20's and became addicted to not spending. During the lockdown I kicked it into high gear and was basically only making purchases every 2 weeks or so. No fast food, no junk food, no useless purchases. I hope you find it as satisfying as I did.
On a side note, I believe that since our vote is a joke and our governments are corrupted to the core, the greatest real power we yield is where and how we spend our money. We actually have more power than we realize. When I hear about which company to boycott next I know it will not affect me because I know for a fact they are already not getting a cent from me. Our society is addicted to spending because it has been ingrained into them with advertising since birth. Unplug from it all and people may realize that increasing their personal wealth is much more satisfying than having that useless piece of Chinese garbage delivered to their doorstep every day by Amazon.
