22 August 2006 - I'm Smiling Again!!

August 23rd, 2006 at 10:49 am

Yesterday was a No Spend day! NOBODY and I mean nobody got their hand in my pocket. Ahhhh...that's a thrilling refreshing feeling, isn't it??

I've been doing no spend days now for about 3 or 4 years before coming to SavingAdvice.com. Started right after reading "Your Money or Your Life" by Dominquez when I began to log my spending! Those days I didn't spend always got a happy smiley face drawn on them back when it was just with paper and pencil, so why not update it for the blog?
