So far: I love this challenge! It's nice to relax and spending money makes you focus outward instead of inward.
How it's going: Great! I am thrilled to report that I have not spent any money. Wednesday a group of colleagues and I went to Dress for Success, an amazing non-profit organization for a tour. On the way back, we stopped at Costco to pick up a couple of things and I was good! In the face of temptation, I said no. I could have bought a ton of things!
It's been tricky though because I am not allowing other people to pay for me either. I want my existence to not cost any money for 10 days. But, free food in our cafeteria is only free to me. There is a cost for it. I just don't pay it. And electricity costs money. You see what I mean. So, I'm working on where to draw the line realistically. Wednesday night, I skipped the driving range with Josh and my parents because buckets of balls cost money. My parents offered to treat me, but I decided that counted as spending money.
Not spending money over the holiday weekend seems like I should be able to do it! Gearing up for a baby shower, housewarming and BBQ/swim parties. I will post an update after the weekend!
Happy Memorial Day!
