Would be happy to update and see how it goes and if it’s too annoying if you’re interested :)

Spending meaningfully can absolutely mean something different depending on the person you ask. It’s important we respect that and trust that other individuals have evaluated their priorities. I know cable and dining out isn’t important to me, but for others, it is. Nothing wrong with that. The “mindless” part of spending is the biggest problem!

I hope we can get the word out to others, as it’s been pretty transformational for me.

I think zero-sum budgeting can definitely help with prioritizing since you have no choice at the end of the month!

I found it became habit for me after about a month (when I started focusing on paying off my student loans faster).

Ugh, yes, food…I’ve been getting better at questioning our decisions there as well. Food can add up so quickly if you’re not careful, even if things are on sale.

It’s an absolute must and it also helps you spend guilt-free. I do believe in being purposeful with money but I also believe money is meant to be enjoyed. So if you enjoy something – whether someone else may consider it trivial or frivolous – shouldn’t matter as long you buy it mindfully, without creating debt or sacrificing more important goals. I think many people get themselves in trouble buy shopping to fill voids, whether it is boredom, loneliness, etc.
