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.
Totally on board with most of this post, the eating in and cancelling of subscriptions. However, for the other items.. if you spent the money ahead of time, your net expenses are still the same, no? The places that you're depriving of business got a bump in May and won't see a difference end of year.
I'm actually ok with that. I live in a land where the dollar has more influence than the vote. I'm withdrawing my dollar, and thus my more powerful than a vote power, from Pride.
