Back in the fall I had the idea of doing a financial fast – a set period of time where one would abstain from any unnecessary spending. Mortgage, rent, food, and other necessities would of course be taken care of, but everything else would be completely cut. My wife and I talked it over, and we decided that January would be a wonderful month to try out a financial fast. It is just after the expensive holiday season, where we are completely content with all the goodies and toys that we got for Christmas, and our bellies are still full from seven or eight gigantic holiday meals. So why not start the year off with cutting back on all unnecessary expenses?
We are just over a week into the New Year, and so far, I’m really enjoying the financial fast. Her
