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 21: Wolfpack fight
For breakfast today I didn't have any cereal so I decided to make a quesadilla. As I went for the items in the fridge I saw the chicken from my failed attempt at dinner the other night. For the record, it makes a great filler for a cheese quesadilla! I'll know better next time. Laundry was the other event for the morning. I didn't do a lot, but thought I'd give it a start since I hate doing piles and piles all Sunday long.
Today is game day, VT vs NCState! Going to be a bunch of people Starr, Starr's mom, Jessica, Dusty and Matt will all be going to the game with me. They all brought food and we cooked out. It was really nice out so it was great to be able to start up the grill and have a brat before the game. Matt paid me $45 for his ticket and Starr was going to wait until next time we got together. Jessica and Dusty (friends with Starr) had seats elsewhere so after half time Starr and her mom went along to join them. Matt and I waited a bit and then came over to the south endzone. Matt let me share some kettle corn and I got a sprite to drink. Overall, a nice night especially since we won the game. After the game I was going to eat the two leftover brats but realized I left them out on the counter. Boo! So for dinner I had leftover quesadilla which was tasty and substantial enough to keep me full.
