It’s now officially March, and you know what that means? My no-spend month is officially over!

I can’t say that I’m glad that it’s over, or that I’m sad that it’s over. My feelings about the month are, apparently, neither here nor there. But I do feel like the month (and also writing about said month here) made me reevaluate my relationship with money and make some changes for the better.

But before we get into all of that, here’s a rundown of the past week:

February 21st

On President’s Day, I didn’t spend any money — even though I was off work. I spent some time in the mountains with my mom, and luckily she paid for my lunch. It was a good, albeit cold and snow-covered, day.

February 22nd

This was the start of an absolutely frigid week here in Colorado, so that helped me resist the urge to spend. I didn’t go anywhere and I didn’t spend any money on Tuesday.

February 23rd

The same goes for Wednesday — no money spent, and no need to really leave the house with all the cold and blowing snow.

February 24th
