The PlanEvery so often I realize that I've been spending too much. As a result I take a month (although the first time was 40 days) and 'fast' on spending. It's not easy, but it's quite helpful in many ways. 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 big impact financially.

Unless otherwise indicated you can't spend any expected income.
NO spending of already existing money in your possession The only exception to this is spare change
NO stockpiling
If you have any bills, you can pay them.
If you have any thing owed to you, you can call it in
You can sell get money by getting rid of things in your home
You can spend money that is refunded to you in that month
Anything that you sell or get refunded must be spent after you get the money back. 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. If you find out someone owes you money, you have to wait until they hand it to you.
Gambling is allowed with any eligible money (but I don't recommend that)
You can consume anything that you already have
You can barter
In the end you can potentially.

Day 18: Comedic insight
Another dull day. I treated myself to a corn muffin from ABP even if it does cost an arm and a leg. Lunch was noodles and dinner was tortellini. I started watching 'How I Met Your Mother' on a DVD that I got from Netflix. This, and 'Big Bang Theory' have been highly suggested to me but I can't stand laugh tracks. I bailed on BBT because the canned laughter was driving my bonkers, but never got around this one. Anna's persistence helped me give it a shot. So far I like it
