No Spend Day!
TOTAL: - $289.69
This was a pretty good week in terms of spending. I did a little Boxing Day shopping with my cousin, and had a few No Spend Days sprinkled throughout the week. It was a great week for meeting up with friends, and Nic came home from visiting his family in Quebec.
Oh, and as a side note, a lot of people mentioned how much they liked how I documented my freelance income in my Weekly Spending Recaps, so I’ll be bringing that back for next week. I think it’s good motivation for me to see my total for the week as a reflection of both my discretionary spending and my income. :)
Count me among those who prefer the inflow/outflow numbers. It’s exciting and inspirational to watch you spend less than you’re bringing in most weeks.
Agreed!! In and out $$ red deficits and green surpluses!
