Zero Spending

While trolling Pinterest, I stumbled upon a pin about "31 Days of Living Well and Spending Zero."

Spending Zero?

Really?

How much do we actually spend?

According to the blogger, their family saved $1,000.


One thousand dollars.

That's quite a chunk of change, if I do say so myself.

They cut out everything but the essentials like bills, seeds for their garden, a needed part to fix the car, etc. The froze their spending habits on things like eating out, Starbucks, shopping for clothing, hobbies (crafts, golf, etc), entertainment (I'm assuming movies and concerts), toys, toiletries (what?!), alcohol and other vices, lottery tickets, and any furniture or home decor. 

It's another challenge I'm going to look into for 2014, that's for sure!

Cheers!
