[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also consider whether you want to change some element of your life and why. Things like this and Dry January or 30-day [whatever restrictive diet] -- why do you think you need that? What behavior do you want to change? Is this the best way to do it? There's nothing magical about a new year.[/quote] I think that's always good! I think January is a good time for the no-spend month for me, after the end of year excesses. I did my first no spend January last year and picked up some good habits that I kept up through the year - I largely stopped eating out when it is just my family of 5 (except for bdays or other special occasions) and instead switched to dining out but only socially. It also taught me the habit of writing down things that I wanted to buy, and then thinking on it for a while - to decide whether I really need/want it before buying it. I am looking forward to what this new no spend month teaches me! [/quote]
