In an effort to come to a deeper understanding of enough, gain a more realistic perspective of what I really need, and develop a more responsible relationship with my own consumerism, I'm planning on spending the year 2018 without spending money. This blog is to track my plan of buying nothing new.
Use it up, wear it out, make due, do without, and use the extra cash to create financial stability.
Exceptions
- Regular bills - rent, electricity, insurance, debt repayment, etc.
- Consumables as replacements as they are used up - toilet paper, cleaning supplies,
- Food and seeds to grow food
- Gas and vehicle maintenance
- Medical needs
- Supplies needed to complete existing crafts, second-hand whenever possible.
- Shoes, on a one-in, one-out basis, second-hand whenever possible.
What we're not buying
I'll be tracking the little things I would have otherwise bought here.
