My husband was a little harder to convince but now saw the effects of getting control of our spending and budgeting. Now we are a month ahead on bills and working on debt payoff. I want to thank you because your freebies are the first challenges I started. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money to save and 2sisterbees made it easy to start my journey to financial freedom! ❤

The veggie pizza was a new one for me !! Thank you ! And a tip that I do is when I bring home fresh veggies, I go ahead and wash, chop/ slice, and make them super easy to grab ! I have two toddlers and it makes it so much easier and we actually eat them before they go bad because it’s convenient!! Thank you !

Starting the habit of no spending and saving is scary to some people because they're not used to doing it. Self-discipline is required to establish new habits but it doesn't necessarily have to mean deprivation. Establishing specific financial goals first is important in changing how we handle our financial life. Since January of this year, I've averaged 14 no-spend days per month, but I don't feel deprived. I am debt free fortunately, so that really helps in saving more. It can be done. People have to believe that they can.

As always a great video Jen. Over the last 2 years I have done a No Spend a few times to put the money into a new bed. This week we researched 3 different types of companies, changed the original. We ended up spending less on the bed, got a new recliner & 2 free pillows only $200 more than what I planned, but had. What a great feeling to feel in control. I was gonna wait until January but you've motivated me to do it again and this time put the extra money into paying off a medical bill sooner. Thanks ❤❤

My family and I had horrible spending habits. (we still do,) We are a working progress. We have never done a no spend challenge before, so we started with No spend week. My husband and I managed a week with ease (to our surprise) However, our eldest child 5 (has complex care needs and found the changes very challenging.) But with time our family will adapt to all necessary changes. We have now decided that this November, we are challenging ourselves to a no spend month.

Hi Jenn. I am 18 days into my 30 day no spend challenge. I have made my own rules, if I didn't budget it, I don't buy it. Which has been amazingly easy for me (I'm shocked). However, there is a sweater at Fred Meyer's that I want but 1. it's not in my budget and 2. it's 42.00 fricken dollars. So, it sits there mocking me. lol Oh, btw I haven't spent anything yet, and I'm doing a dollar a day. Have a great rest of your day.

Or do you roll it over? 🤔 I spent 2 months tracking my spending & realized I have an issue with eating out more due to stress & when I skip planning my meals. This November, I'm really going to challenge myself not to eat out & to get back on my meal planning schedule (outside of Thanksgiving day)😊
