day 2 3/1/2017

after no deliberation I decided that this year i would buy nothing, or as close to nothing as I can.


so outside of mortgage and bills - I am allowed to spend my money on the following things

• food
• fuel
• parts and mechanical repairs - cars and motorbikes
• occasional treats for my kids. 

And if really really needed - shoes.

I will bring my lunch to work every damn day. I will try very hard to quit buying coffee,  i will not buy any work snacks.

I pledge that I

• will make no major purchases on credit
• will  buy no new clothes
• will buy no video games or toys

and If possible i will not update my phone

By years end I aim to clear all my credit card debts, have a streamlined wardrobe, to have built the motorcycle hiding in my shed and taught my son how to ride a bike.


i will keep a spreadsheet of coffee and snack purchases
and post photos of anything i buy outside of my rules.
