Hey Spending Fasters- How’s Day 2 Going?

Some of the things I noticed right away after I started the Spending Fast:

So much more TIME!
Getting used to the idea of saying “No” to others (can be awkward)
Getting used to the idea of saying “No” to myself (can feel weird)
Getting used to making coffee at home (weekends) or at work (weekdays) rather than stopping at the coffee shop
Realized planning ahead for meals took a little extra time
Realized I had a lot of stuff in my cupboard that I wasn’t eating
Realized it felt good to take control of my life

Did you take the 2012 Get Out of Debt Spending Fast Pledge?

What are you noticing, and how’s it been going so far?

It’s In The Cupboards

I’m eating rice and toast for dinner tonight because it’s hanging around (nothing like carb-loading for a non-marathoner). Next up: that box of Cream of Wheat that I thought was a good idea six months ago.

Extra points for throwing down a vintage table runner, and minus two points for getting into the Maalox right now.

Homemade gut rot. On the cheap.
