• (Guest Challenge by Sox) Now let me begin out by saying that this is something I’ve chosen to do.
• Well financially I’m rather unique.
• No one is financially dependent on me unless you count my cat Liza, and she only requires treats, food and cat litter.
• Worth noting: i live in an inexpensive town with excellent public transportation and an office close enough to walk to.

How Budgets Sexy Really Works

I’ve made the rules and I don’t expect anyone else to follow it. (Although I welcome the challenge!) A bit about me: How can I pull something like this off? I am horrible at collecting food and other aspects that I just forget about and don’t apply up.

• I can cook and or better than any restaurant (don’t challenge my pie skills).
• Being able (time and skills) to cook is a massive factor in pulling this off.
• More importantly, i don’t drink coffee or alcohol and rarely hit up sodas.

Getting the Most From Budgets Sexy

I am a tv junkie (over 1000 reveal episodes watched on hulu alone) and much of my entertainment comes from that. I have woodworking, electrical, plumbing, basket weaving, and canning skills to assist me out.

• Last time on NoSpend November: Remember how I did NoSpend November last year?
• Remember that well this year I decided to try it in December.
• There are a couple of reasons for this shift.

Tips That Make a Difference

First of all I had a vacation planned already for November so I didn’t wish to skimp on it since vacations for me are so rare. The other reason is that while last November was difficult (primarily since of football tickets) it wasn’t as large a stretch to pull off.

• As a rule, christmas is a large spending time and I found that instead of genuinely saving on holiday spending, it could have been differed.
• So is it genuinely no spend?
• The New Plan: So this time I figured I would get back into the blogging habit by doing No Change November showing you what happens in a typical month for me.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

I will do my best to be realistic about it and not restrict my spending out of shame since you’re watching! In short, the only noted difference is that I am not allowing Christmas presents to get stockpiled a head of time.

• Now I’m not going to avoid purchasing aspects that I would typically, just not going to make a run on target at 9pm on the 30th.
• A upside of this activity is for me to see how well I can track my spending.
• In this age of digital payments I rarely look at bank accounts or credit card statements.

Is Budgets Sexy Worth It?

Worth noting: lets see how it goes!  Here are the rules: 1) Unless otherwise indicated, you can’t spend any expected income. Salary Wages Rent owed to you Established court settlements Alimony Expected year end bonuses 2) If you have any bills, you can pay them.

• Credit card purchases from previous months Medical prescriptions Mortgage/rent (For some people commuting costs or gas can be considered a utility but not me) Utilities Cell phone 3) NO spending of already existing money in your possession Cash on hand Gift cards 4) NO stockpiling You can’t purchase gas on the day before it starts unless you require it.
• No loading up on added food.
• More importantly, if you’re low on milk that’s ok, but you can’t purchase a dozen frozen dinners.

Where the Real Savings Hide

No Chirstmas present stockpiling unless you would have bought it ahead of time anyhow. So if you submit a reimbursement for medical expenses, or sell something online, you can’t spend money in anticipation of getting it.

• If you submit it and you don’t get anything sent to you that month… tough noogies.
• Remember that each time I’ve done this I have actually made between 50 and 200 dollars.
• Combine that with the money I didn’t spend, and the fact that I reformed my spending, it can have a large impact financially!
