Spending Fast 2012

If you've been reading this blog long, you know I like to challenge myself. I like to do hard things. I feel like doing hard things makes me a better person and helps me discover who I am. It also makes more more creative and happier in life. We can all do hard things. I assume you too will have the same results.







With that, I invite you to join me in the Spending Fast of 2012. This will be the third annual and I'm so excited! Here's how it works. You don't buy anything for the month of February. Okay, there are a few exceptions. You can pay your rent and other bills and you can buy gas. You can also buy food, but you should limit and stretch in this area. For my family of three I spend $50 a week during the Spending Fast. You can choose what works for your family. Also, no eating out.

I'm going to be doing giveaways throughout the month on the Candied Apples blog. Check it out here.

Okay, who's with me?

This is going to be the hardest year yet for me, seeing how my hobby lately is decorating my house, but I can hold off for a month. Thanks for the push every year!

I need to try this one of these days! This month and the next will be hard, as I'll be traveling to AZ both months. I already have to be quite frugal, but I know there's still things I could cut down on!
