If you haven’t heard of it before, it’s a YNAB challenge that has 3 simple rules. For 30 days you:

  1. Track your spending
  2. Only buy essentials
  3. No dining out

I haven’t been able to successfully follow this for 30 days, but I’ve made a lot of progress towards my financial goals in trying! I’m glad I did actual progress too, because I sure felt silly turning down friend dates at the bar and having them offer to pay.

What about you? Have you been able to crush your desires and go a month without going out or buying any fancy coffees?

    I definitely have seen this trend around tiktok, reddit and YouTube. I haven’t tried it but I feel like if I tried it I would just postpone my nonessential expenses and then go back to my normal mode of operating.
