one Comments

Well y'all, I've officially finished my 100-day challenge! At times it felt short and other times it felt like it was never going to end, but I really enjoyed the reflection I was able to have around my spending. Technically I finished the 100 days on May 14th but for the purposes of comparison, we finished the month strong and I compiled our expenses for the entire month of April so I could compare them to the previous 3 months.

My 100-day Challenge: January Update

no Comments

2020 - New year, new you. Right? Well, I started off this year with a bang! A 100-day challenge to be precise. Back in the fall of 2019 I read this book about a spending fast, this book about living with less, and listened to this podcast episode about saving to make work optional. My gut was telling me that a spending fast was in my future but I didn't know what it would look like yet. Then I listened to this podcast episode about a 100-day challenge (completely unrelated to money, I might add) and the pieces started to…
